Our Prime Minister's declared gifts of meat and furniture-in Parliament's register of pecuniary interests.

Details published today show John Key's been given an enamelled sailing boat ornament, a tea table, and Rosewood chairs by the President of China.

He also received a golf putter and golf balls from US President Barack Obama.

ANZCO foods gifted Mr Key the meat and he's also been given honorary membership at the Remuera and Wairaki Golf Clubs.

Key has also clocked up four free helicopter rides - all involve trips to golf resorts. Two were courtesy of the Bell Investment trust.

Mr Key's also received free flights from UK based Conservative party backer Lord Ashcroft. He's declared private plane trips from London to Sarejevo and Sarejevo to Davos.

Meanwhile, it's a pretty short gift list for Labour's Andrew Little.

He's declared a single gift in his annual return - tickets to the 2015 Womand music festival.

His other declared interests are also brief.

They cover, a family home in Wellington, two superannuation schemes and his mortgage.
