About these figures

Source: Meta Ad Library daily report for Australia, dated 6 August 2026. Meta publishes each day's report a few days later.
Year-to-date figures cover 1 January to 6 August 2026. From 218 daily reports.
Meta reports daily spend under $100 only as "≤$100"; we count each such line as $34.60, a value worked out from Meta's exact 90-day report.
Categories are assigned by Political Gadgets and reviewed by hand. New advertisers show as Unclassified until they're reviewed.
