Chris Ellison backer L1 Capital sells MinRes stock following share price rebound
A sharp rebound in Mineral Resources' share price has seen the company's top shareholder besides Chris Ellison cash out over the past week to the tune of $71 million. Melbourne-based stock picker L1 Capital started selling down a chunk of its stake in MinRes last week at an average of about $34 per share to reap $70.9m. It also sold approximately $21m worth of MinRes stock across June and July. L1's holding in the lithium and iron ore major has been whittled down from a 9.2 per cent peak in March to currently sit at 7.8 per cent. L1 emerged as a major shareholder in MinRes during October, just days after news of Mr Ellison's tax dodging scandal broke. The investment manager steadily built up a stake over the next few months, making a final push in March by shelling out $58m within the space of a week to boost its stake from 7.6 per cent to 9.2 per cent. During that month, MinRes shares were languishing between $21 and $25. A raft of issues at its pivotal Onslow Iron project, corporate governance concerns, weak lithium prices, and a ballooning pile of debt weighed heavily on the stock price. But the Onslow project is getting back on track and iron ore prices have held up, somewhat easing concerns about balance sheet pressure. Improving lithium sentiment has provided another tailwind. MinRes shares are up 160 per cent since sinking to a five-year nadir in April, but remain down 25 per cent year-on-year. L1 has notably said Mr Ellison, who owns 11.5 per cent of MinRes, should remain as boss of MinRes despite his various transgressions coming to light over the past year.

Embattled A-League club Western United early with player payments amid battle for licence
Western United bosses have paid wages early this month and have also shelled out money for overdue superannuation payments as they attempt to prevent players from leaving the embattled Victorian club. United was last week stripped of its A-League licence by Football Australia after it 'failed to meet' the required criteria, but has announced it will appeal the decision. The club's proposed new majority investor KAM Melbourne is yet to submit its full ownership proposal to the Australian Professional Leagues despite the investment – understood to be worth $100 million when including the purchase of the club's parent company Western Melbourne Group – having been announced by United in May. United has also been banned by FIFA from registering new signings due to an ongoing financial dispute with the club's former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. ðŸ'‹ðŸ'‹ — Western United FC (@wufcofficial) August 11, 2025 The club's chairman, Jason Sourasis, was reportedly hit with a personal tax bill of almost $3 million in June, with the unpaid taxes owed by some companies that sustain United. Player and staff wages were also late on three successive occasions from April to June before being paid on time last month. This month's pay, due this Friday, is understood have already been paid, and the club is also believed to now be up to date with superannuation money that was owing. As a result, players bidding to leave United cannot use potential breaches of their contract as a way to get out of their deals. It's understood some players have asked United officials to be released from their contracts but have been refused. While United's future remains in doubt, the cloud hanging over Central Coast Mariners might have lifted, with speculation that Sydney Olympic president Damon Hanlin has made a multimillion-dollar investment into the Gosford-based foundation A-League club. Hanlin is understood to have met with the Mariners squad, who are scheduled to play a trial match against Brisbane Roar on August 24 at Sunshine Coast Stadium. We wish you a good week at work ðŸ'›ðŸ'™ — Central Coast Mariners (@CCMariners) August 10, 2025 The Roar have announced the loan signing of teenage defender Dimitri Valkanis, the son of Brisbane coach Michael Valkanis, from Greek club AEK Athens. The 19-year-old centre played for AEK's second team and youth sides. 'I believe in what I bring to the (Brisbane) squad – energy, creativity, and a winning mentality,' he said. 'My goal is to help drive this team forward alongside my teammates and push to make Brisbane Roar one of the top clubs in the country.' Meanwhile, attacking weapon Georgios Vrakas has also reportedly signed with Brisbane from Greek Super League club Atromitos.

Luxury renovation plans revealed for Kyle Sandilands' coastal holiday home
Loading content... Renovation plans are underway for Kyle Sandilands' $1.8 million holiday house on the Central Coast. In November, the 54-year-old KIIS FM radio host snapped up the three-bedroom, two-bathroom fixer-upper in the beachside suburb of Copacobana as a holiday house with his wife, Tegan Kynaston, and their toddler, Otto. Planning alerts reveal the couple has obtained a complying development certificate for the property, with the project set to cost $670,000. The proposed works are for a new in-ground swimming pool and landscaping. Architectural plans designed by Central Coast-based firm SiteDesign + Studios reveal a striking resort-style pool area. The 10-metre pool includes a shallow "beach" area as a safe place for son Otto to take a dip, and a white rendered wall for privacy. It appears that privacy is a key factor for Sandilands. In addition to the privacy wall, the plans include a one-metre high vertical balustrade around the alfresco patio and planter boxes with privacy planting. "Privacy planting surrounding the pool and privacy screens will be provided to soften the development to the neighbours," the application reads. The alfresco area also features a white architectural concrete bench seat. Designed with his young son in mind, the application states: "The pool has been located in a position to make it safe to access and to be visual from the house balcony to watch over children swimming". Six trees will be removed from the site to build the pool. Set on a 588-square metre block, the two-storey house has picturesque views of Copacabana Beach and Macmaster Headland. The current floorplan comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms and open-plan living spaces, including a large rumpus room on the ground level. The property hit the market with George Brand Real Estate Avoca Beach in January 2024 with an asking price of $1.995 million. After failing to secure a buyer after 11 months on-market, Sandilands swooped in and purchased the unrenovated house for $1.8 million. The listing described the property as "soaked in sunlight and positioned to maximise the views" and offering "a family-focused layout with an ideal construction for future development". Other property features include ducted air conditioning, secure gated entry and landscaped gardens. The $1.8 million transaction is small change for cashed-up Sandilands, who, along with co-host Jackie O Henderson, signed a decade-long deal with Australian Radio Network, understood to be worth around $200 million. Shortly after making his move into the Central Coast property market, Sandilands offloaded a luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday house in far-north Queensland for around $2.55 million in December. The property in Port Douglas spent 109 days on-market and sold after the asking price was reduced from $2.9 million. Sandilands paid $1.3 million for the secluded rainforest retreat in 2020 but chose to sell to find a weekender closer to Sydney. "When it was just Tegan and I, the place was absolutely perfect for us because of its private and tropical location overlooking the water," Sandilands said. "Our two-year-old son Otto loves the beach, which can be difficult to go to up around Port Douglas due to the crocodiles. "We're going to relocate somewhere a bit closer to Sydney where we don't have to worry about hungry reptiles." The couple shares a luxury home in the ritzy Sydney suburb of Vaucluse, which they purchased for $14 million in 2023. Sandilands also owns a palatial residence on acreage at Glenorie in Sydney's Hills District, which he bought for $3 million in 2022. Sandilands made headlines in February after announcing on-air that doctors had found an aneurysm in his brain. He also has a chest aneurysm that will require surgery. "I was told by my medical team, which sounds like I'm already very sick, to have a medical team, that I have a brain aneurysm and it requires immediate attention, brain surgery," he said.
