The Victorian Labor premier, Daniel Andrews, and the South Australian Labor leader, Peter Malinauskas, came soon after, but the next federal candidates on the Facebook spending list were Dr Sophie Scamps and Kylea Tink – more Climate 200-backed independents, running in the Liberal seats of Mackellar and North Sydney respectively.
Frydenberg spent $6,220 on Facebook ads in the past month, the fourth-most of any Coalition MP. His recent ads include a poster claiming the Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, “has been standing for higher taxes every day”, as well as positive ads saying Frydenberg is “supporting families” and “supporting local businesses” in Kooyong, and spruiking his community credentials.
Spender said she “probably can’t match” Sharma’s printing budget and digital advertising was “the smartest way to reach voters”.
