Why doesn't Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather own a home yet?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.

Well, thank you Max.
