Labor can spend $92000 as a party, a candidate $57000 and the union $87000= $236,000. LNP can with the backing of any of the many Business council or corporate advertising spend the same $236000. How does Paul Muuray get the figure of $1.7 million PER SEAT.

He made it up oldbull26. I said this morning this is fake news. Everyone has the same spending restrictions, which are still too high IMO but I suppose they have to pander to Murdoch's News adverts to some degree.
