You probably don’t spend much time thinking about all the gifts WA politicians receive.

But maybe you should.

Because no one gives anything to a pollie because they are so grateful for democracy.

Gifts are usually given to politicians because the giver is trying to suck up.

So does it work?

Well, that’s the key question here.

In an ideal world, no policy decision would be shaped by getting a gift hamper of artisan jams and relishes.

But this ain’t an ideal world, is it.

That’s why it’s a great thing that The West Australian is going to be, for the first time publishing the official register of gifts and hospitality received by WA cabinet ministers.

I’m not going to go through all of it right now - so let’s just focus on what our glorious leader Mark McGowan has been given.

And if nothing else, it’s a pretty fun list.

There’s a beaded necklace, and some sweets from the Indian Society of WA.

A silk satchel for good luck from the Chinese consul.

The AFL commission gave him a match day ball from the AFL grand final that was played in Perth last year.

A couple of stuffed dog toys from the Guide Dogs association.

A hand knitted lime green jumper with the words It’s OK to run with a kebab” embroidered on it - what a keepsake that is.

A CD from the Albany Shantymen. Yes, apparently CDs are still a thing.

5 kilos of frozen prawns from the Kailis brothers.

And there is so much more.

So what is the takeaway here?

Well, for starters it’s good to be the king… Whoops… I mean the Premier.

Because you certainly get sent a lot of interesting stuff.

Not that McGowan kept it all, in fact a lot of the really crappy stuff he handballed to his office staff.

But has any of it influenced the Premier’s thinking on certain issues?

Well, that’s a lot harder to assess.

But having it all listed in such a transparent way is the first step in figuring it out.

The final day of the Albanese Government’s Jobs and Skills Summit will focus on skilled migration, with Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil expected to announce a lift in the annual migration intake from 160,000 a year to about 200,000.

Skills and training for jobs in the future will also be on the agenda, as well as getting more people into work, system-wide changes to boost employment and tackling discrimination.

It comes after a busy day one, where the Government delivered a major coup for unions, unveiling a proposal to allow workers from different firms to band together to press for pay rises.

Top speed limits at all WA traffic-light intersections will be dropped to 70 kilometres-per-hour across the next two years, as part of a State Government plan to prevent serious crashes.

A further 40 will be addressed next year.
