- Peter Holmes a Court may have stood down as the Rabbitohs' executive chairman in a blaze of negative press, and faced a humiliating defeat this week on plans to rid Souths Leagues Club of its pokies, but that hasn't stopped the silvertail dilettante from moving just a hop away from his beloved Bunnies. Holmes a Court confirmed to PS he and his wife, Divonne, along with their brood of rugrats, had bought two apartments next door to the boarded-up Souths club on Chalmers Street, Redfern. The Holmes a Courts, who sold their Centennial Park mansion for $10 million in April, paid $3.06 million for the properties overlooking Redfern Park - one of which belonged to Alan Jones. The two have been made into one penthouse, which Holmes a Court said was similar to their former lodgings in New York, explaining why they would leave swish Centennial Park for the slightly "edgier" delights of Redfern. However, if the urban jungle gets too much for them, there's always their weekender, a $2.1 million spread at Stanwell Park, south of Royal National Park.
