The navy-blue suede wedge shoe came off Gillard's foot on Thursday in Canberra as she fled angry Aboriginal rights protesters. The online auction website posted a listing for what was purportedly the missing shoe with a starting price of Aus $148 (£100).

'We had no information or reason to suspect there was going to be any problem,' Mr Outram told reporters in Canberra. The protests appear to have been . aimed primarily at opposition leader Tony Abbott, who was also in the . building when some 200 demonstrators began banging on its windows, . shouting 'shame' and 'racist'. Mr Abbott had angered activists . earlier in the day by saying it was time the nearby Aboriginal Tent . Embassy, which celebrated its 40th anniversary yesterday,  'moved on'. Mr Abbott said today that his comment had been misinterpreted, and that he never meant to imply the embassy should be torn down. Warren Mundine, a respected Aboriginal leader, denounced the actions of the protesters, saying they had overreacted. 'They . are a fringe, radical group - they're not the mainstream of indigenous . Australians,' Mr Mundine said. 'If you look at (Abbott's) words, they're . pretty harmless and they don't even mention anything about moving the . Tent Embassy.'
