With all this talk about female fashion in a week that should be saturated by political analysis, who’d have thought a budget was delivered on Tuesday and a budget reply on Thursday?
Right now, Australia is awash with talk about the mysterious case of Chloe Shorten’s runaway necklace during Thursday night’s budget reply.
Shorten, the wife of Opposition leader Bill and a communications specialist and author in her own right, sat in the wings of parliament, her presence alone a sign of support for the Labor party as husband Bill delivered hotly-anticipated response.
But forget about her qualifications – haven’t you heard? Chloe Shorten is glamorous! (As so thoughtfully and appropriately pointed out by more than one news outlet.)
Her triple-layered choker-like necklace sat on her neck for the majority of Mr Shorten’s address, before disappearing with no word as to WHY. Cue: suspicion from the suspicious.
Shocked politicians and journalists alike bid a very big cya to the Opposition Leader’s speech and began busying themselves with chatter as to what could possibly have transpired. Who cares about the NDIS and how we’re going to fund the next generation’s education – there are missing necklaces to find!
Did a little puppy bust into parliament and steal it from her neck, taking it for himself?

Who photoshopped her cleavage on all the necklace pictures? Can't find a single one on image search that isn't edited - maybe too raunchy for the wife of the opposition leader? I'm guessing the necklace free one wasn't an official image.
It might have been inexpensive but it was ugly. It might urge Lovisa to be a little more stringent with quality though (I've had this happen to me a number of times with their pieces before).
