I didn't realise that when Tony Blair won on the 1st May 1997 that the Eurovision Song Contest was that weekend: 3rd May 1997. So Labour unseat the Tories and then a couple days later the UK won Eurovision? That must have been a wild few days!

Just a little FYI, “didgeridoo” is an introduced Western term. The instrument used on stage is a Yidaki. No worries if you say digeridoo, at Aussievision we basically say Yidaki (Didgeridoo) as we know that's what people know it as! But the more you know, the more you know!

The amount of time it took to do each Eurovision televote result sequence since 2016: 2016: 10 minutes 2017: 8 minutes 2018: 8 minutes 2019: 10 minutes 2021: 14 minutes 2022: 17 minutes This needs to get back to 10 minutes or less & not focus on the artists who score low.

I think it's great that the Instagram comment statement recognises "regret" and that they will "do better." However, they still do not take responsibility here. They said it wasn't banned, but the non-binary flag was clearly not accepted in policy and practice.

Look past ONE result re televote and jury. Look at the big picture. UK fans popping off, you would have been 5th last year and not hosting. Aussies popping off, we would have finished 20th (and 4th in 2016). It's always been about composition AND entertainment. SHEESH.
