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:

Doesn't seem like the LNP are overly confident in the election and appear desperate to cling onto power through propaganda rather than interacting with their constituency. At the same time though rather difficult to claim that I guess.

Edit: this really stands out to me:

They needed to pay people ~80k to understand how to win the election instead of just talking to people

I love campaing research! It's my favourite kind of research!

At least that one looks like a genuine typo.

Yeah, but typos in professional documents will never not be funny. Especially when the product of the typo follows English phonotactics and can be pronounced like it was a real world.
