Field notes
The homepage groups advertisers into parties, politicians, interest groups and unions, and shows both ad counts and estimated spend. Its recent-ad list includes start dates, while the broader rankings use totals accumulated since tracking began. The site says it combines parliament records with Meta's Ad Library and refreshes weekly; the displayed spend figures remain ranges rather than exact amounts.
