Glitter pedicures and hip-hop: Treasurer Jim Chalmers like you’ve never seen him

He’s one of the most powerful men in the country, but nine-year-old Saffron Deacon unveiled another side to the Treasurer. WATCH NOW

Jim Chalmers is one of the most powerful men in the country but in his latest, and cutest, interview, he reminds us all that he’s also just a dad who loves his kids.

The Treasurer revealed the sweetest ritual he has with his daughter Annabel to nine-year-old Saffron Deacon in the latest episode of Tiny Edition, The Courier Mail’s online series where kids interview celebrities.

“When I go away to Canberra for work, she paints my toes with glitter nail polish so that when I’m away, I see my toes have glitter on them and I think of her,” he tells Saffron.

Alongside the glitter pedicures, Chalmers shares a funny dad moment when his son Jack was a little too honest in front of the crowd at an election campaign event, what music he really listens to when he’s alone in the car and the job he would do outside of politics.
