These were just some of the gifts received by Tasmanian Government’s ministers this year. 

Premier Will Hodgman bore the most generosity while former government minister, Matthew Groom, received the most diverse range of gifts. 

Mr Hodgman received tickets to sporting events, like the AFL Grand Final, a cricket bat from Ricky Ponting, a Cricket Australia shirt signed by George Bailey, and a water balloon gun.

The gifts, in total, exceeded $10,000 in value but several were donated to charity.

Mr Groom received skincare products, Ugg boots, a gold-coloured panda, and a bottle of chilli sauce worth $56.  

Primary Industries Minister Jeremy Rockliff received a Christmas ham, lacquerware boxes from Korea, and a $108 bottle of whisky from Japanese visitors.

Mr Rockliff also received a Christmas ham from Australian Pork in 2015.

The gift register regularly reveals a number of interesting items bestowed upon the state’s politicians.

Interesting past items included hunting knives, a teddy bear, ornate tea sets, expensive gems, and in one instance, a patchwork quilt made by inmates in the state’s women’s prison.

Under the register rules, politicians need to declare any gifts worth more than $50.

The state’s Integrity Commission last year reported that the handling of gifts and benefits was problematic in the public sector as it was either poorly misunderstood or managed. Public servants are now required to report gifts received valued more than $100.
