Gifts declared by Queensland ministers in 2017 and 18 include gold shovels, a gucci scarf, a State of Origin jersey and Indigenous Art.

The items were among presents worth a total of $18,400 declared by the Premier, her ministers and the opposition leader last financial year in the Ministerial Gifts Register.

Gifts worth less than $350 may be kept by ministers and must be declared, but gifts worth more should be refused, returned or given to the ministerial branch.
