Yeah, it's a bit overblown, but...

the bloke who is in the highest position you can possibly be in can’t buy a nice place to live?

He's not buying it to live in because an MP has to live in their electorate. So unless he's retiring - and he says he's not - it's either an investment or a holiday house.

But the reason it's news isn't because some guy bought a nice spare house. It's because, as you've identified, he's the guy in the top job, who is currently doing fuck all to address the housing crisis.

lol, remember the last two elections where Labor took even the tiniest hint of housing reform to the election? Liberal landslide.

You mean changes to negative gearing? That's not the only thing they could do.

The ABC reported that the location was close to his fiance's family. She's on the mortgage, also.
