If we saw him helping out at foodbanks he might have a different awareness instead of making glib statements.  Isn't it strange that he looks like a clone of the leader of the Australian Liberal party Peter Dutton? Perhaps they came off the same production line.I'm not so sure though - if he has previously helped at food banks on a regular basis prior to entering politics, then that would be one thing. But if his help came only after entering politics, then that puts a different perspective on it, because of the strong possibility that it was done to present himself in a good light.
It's an interesting idea, though & I think it might not be a bad thing if every politician was obliged to  work at a food bank for an entire day, a couple of times a month. That way, they'd remain in touch with the reality for those who are worst off, unlike themselves.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
