A list titled "Here's just some of the dirty money affecting our democracy:" showing donations from fossil fuel interests. The largest is Minerology at $52,889,379, followed by Advance Australia at $10,108,548, Coal Australia at $5,389,523, Minerals Council of Australia at $1,000,970, Hancock Prospecting at $1,099,000, and Other Fossil Fuel Companies at $2,119,988. At the bottom is an angry emoji and red exclamation points.

More than $14 million of this was channelled through third-party groups who ran relentless attack ads and disinformation campaigns targeting independent MPs. Australians for Prosperity $2,838,026 Advance Australia $10,108,548 Better Australia $1,255,061 Around the edges are examples of smear campaigns against independent MPs like Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel.

Text stating that the fossil fuel lobby buys influence, but independents are not for sale, concluding with a call to "Chip in today" and the website climate200.com.au.
