Top shelf liquor, drives in flashy cars, ceramics and even a spike fiddle are among the gifts our politicians have gladly accepted.
They've been declared in the latest register of pecuniary interests of Members of Parliament.
It's a register that holds a wealth of information about members of Parliament including their property, shares and bonds, interests in trusts, debtors and creditors, and overseas travel.
Many of our politicians have accepted a few rugby tickets here and there and the odd helicopter trip, and some have some received some pretty unique items.
