Jim Chalmers<\/a> has been slammed as ‘tone deaf’ after his wife Laura turned heads in a $1,900 designer outfit that would cost most Australians a week’s worth of pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former political advisor-turned magazine editor, 40, wore an $899 yellow Carla Zampatti dress and a matching $999 jacket as she supported her husband while he handed down the 2024-25 Budget on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
