        So what! It's obviously clear, and not from this article, that politics is just like that. And yet people still believe

        Let me get this straight. Vikki Campion believes she is politically savvy and worked as a senior advisor. Yet she has no qualms accepting a gift from a dodgy party donor. Beggars belief #qldcronyism

        It can appear as a conflict of interest. Government employment in general makes taking any gifts or favours of any kind a big no no. This most definitely falls under that as it holds no governmental or diplomatic need.
