Is there a more over hyped bit of drama at the minute than old mates house buy or what?

Sydney's median house price is 1.7 million. You reckon the PM of this country can't buy a house worth three times median?

Old Turnbull who fucked the NBN sits in his 50 million dollar joint without a raised eyebrow, and Dutton the creepy potato rolls in worth 300 million and that's cool... But the bloke who is in the highest position you can possibly be in can't buy a nice place to live?

I bet half the talking heads on free to air pretending to be outraged at this are living in properties of similar value the hypocritical fucks.

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.
