Max Chandler-Mather has been asked at the National Press Club why he hasn't purchased a home yet, and is still a renter, despite his earnings as an MP. He responds that he has a small, single-income family and gives up about $50,000 from his annual salary to fund a free meal program in his Brisbane electorate. 'Because of that, giving up that money, and being on a single income and in an inner city electorate with a very, very high median house price, it is actually sort of difficult at the moment to buy a house there,' the Greens housing and homelessness spokesperson says. He points out that where he grew up in West End is now in a part of the city his parents would not be able to afford► Subscribe to Guardian Australia on YouTube
