It's not everyday the prime minister tweets a photo of his sneakers.
But Scott Morrison did just that on Wednesday morning after punters were quick to point out a family portrait on his website had been digitally altered to replace his worn-in shoes with an awkwardly-placed white pair.
"I didn't ask for the shoeshine, but if you must Photoshop, please focus on the hair (lack thereof), not the feet!," Mr Morrison tweeted to his department.
"Here they are in all their glory - my footwear of choice whenever I can get out of a suit," he wrote alongside a photo of his K-Swiss adorned feet.
A spokesman for the prime minister said the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet had doctored the photo without the knowledge or authorisation from Mr Morrison or his office.

"The PM much prefers his own shoes," the spokesman said on Wednesday.
The photo of Mr Morrison with his wife Jen and two young daughters was snapped for his 2018 Christmas card and video.
The altered version has since been updated with the original image on the prime minister's official website.
Twitter users had fun with Mr Morrison's tweet, with several replying to the prime minister with photos of their own feet.
