A Department of Finance document indicates there has been $136 million spent on advertising for government departments in 2019 alone.

Senator Penny Wong has grilled the government over its spending on advertisements during a Senate estimates hearing, which Labor says has been an extraordinarily high amount.

Senator Wong says Australians are online, watching television and listening to the radio, ‘and they are being inundated by ads that they are paying for from a desperate government. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann says, ‘just because there’s an election around the corner doesn’t mean that we all of a sudden have to go into conspiracy theories.’ Image: News Corp Australia
