HOW much does it cost to bring down a prime minister? The answer: a tad over $22 million.

That's how much the mining industry spent in six weeks last year on its campaign against Kevin Rudd's plan for a resource super profit tax.

The advertising and public relations campaign dominated the airwaves in May and June.

But the Australian Electoral Commission's political spending disclosures for 2009-10, released yesterday, reveal just how much the miners spent campaigning against the plans to levy a 40 per cent tax on their ''super'' profits.

The campaign contributed significantly to a slump in Labor's electoral standing in the middle of last year, which prompted Labor MPs to replace Mr Rudd as prime minister with Julia Gillard.
