Macklin defends Therese Rein's fashion choices
Posted , updated
Federal Government frontbencher Jenny Macklin is defending Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's wife, who has been criticised for her taste in fashion.
Therese Rein is travelling overseas with her husband, but she is attracting criticism from fashion designers back home.
Australian fashion designers have told News Limited Ms Rein is constantly wearing over-the-top bright jackets, while others suggest she needs a new hairstyle.
Ms Macklin has told Channel Nine Ms Rein deserves credit.
"It's not only how she presents, she's also a fantastic woman who is able to really, I think, show another face of Australia to so many different people in the world. And good on her for doing it, " she said.
