There has been an update. The ALP received much more than $14k in donations last financial year.

I had to hit refresh after clicking through that link, but the website does show $289,088 in cash donations for the ALP.

Maybe it’s a bit buggy, but does show after a refresh.

They received a $224k donation from the 1973 Foundation, so the $14k total is clearly an error.
