This is a screenshot from ECQ’s expenditure disclosure page, showing the three main parties’ largest expenditures.
Note that it shows:
- For LNP: all expenditures over $10,000
- For Labor: all expenditures over $1,000
- For the Greens: all expenditures over $500
As a summary:
- The LNP spent just over $1,000,000 counting only the expenditures over $10,000 each (the top 12 of their 55 expenditures)
- Labor spent over $283,000 counting only expenditures above $1,000 each (that’s the top 15 of their 35 expenditures)
- The Greens spent just over $18,300 on their expenditures over $500 each (the top 9 of 31 expenditures)
And as a free bonus, here are all of independent Councillor Nicole Johnston from Tennyson Ward’s expenditures:
And immediately after posting this, I just noticed that some of those Greens expenditures aren’t even on BCC elections. Their 4th and 6th largest expenditures were on an Ipswich and a Sunshine Coast Council campaign.
If you take those two out, they’re actually only spending $15,500 in BCC, from their >$500 expenditures.
Also, check out what they’ve each given for “purpose of the expenditure”. Labor has been absolutely useless and should honestly face a fine for not conforming with the requirements.
LNP is not great, but at least passable.
Greens have been great in their specificity.
