Given the semi-final draw, am I being overly pessimistic in thinking that regardless of song Australia will not qualify for the Grand Final this year?

The lack of juries should have made you pessimistic

 

[Mainshow]

Have we already reached the point of thinking a crounty won't be qualifying without knowing any entries because that particular country hadn't qualified once out of 6 semi final participations?

Even Sheldon would have qualified under the new rules despite his mediocre song.

 

[AlienSoul]

Given their silence, I wonder if SBS are going to withdraw and Sheldon's will be Australia's Swan Song.

(I think summer is having a negative effect on my mood )

 

[Preuss]

Australia’s always qualified with the televote except Isaiah. I think they’ll be fine this year

And the semi seems to be the less competitive one just based on track records…

No lol. Considering they're pretty close to inviting New Zealand Australia is safe

Glad that SBS has lifted the Cone of Silence

This sucks that we have no way of Knowing who it will be till March lol

Are you sure abut that?
Eurovision has never had such dedicated fans in NZ; NZ doesn't even broadcast the contest anymore despite Australia taking part (they stopped in 2016 after two years) and demographically speaking, NZ is also a different case....I don't think it will be happening.

Did you make that up because literally no one else thinks that’s even remotely possible or true?

Knowing the Kiwi’s they probably stopped broadcasting cause they couldn’t handle the fact Australia was there and they weren’t.

New Zealand can be part of an increasingly global Eurovision Song Contest if Kiwis show enough interest, an EU representative says.

Preparations are now well underway for the next contest, which this year will be held in Britain, where it will be co-hosted by Ukraine.

The contest brings together not only nations in Europe, but parts of the Middle East and even Australia.

The EU ambassador to New Zealand, Nina Obermaier, thinks Aotearoa would look pretty good in there too, and she has some ideas on how to make that happen.

Obermaier told Morning Report there was no reason why New Zealand could not be involved if it showed a bit of enthusiasm.

The contest brings together not only nations in Europe, but in parts of the Middle East and even Australia. Obermaier said Canada would be jumping on board.

I threw your text in Google. -> https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national...an-t-be-part-of-eurovision-eu-ambassador-says
Sorry but some random comments of a EU ambassador =/= being close to be invited to participate.

 

[HarryUK]

Have you selected Kylie & Jason yet or

 

[Brockoli]

I've noticed that Crystal ball esc follows Chris Sebastian....so could he possibly be our representative?

 

[Simon]

There was actually an NZ documentary/story about Eurovision made by some fans I saw somewhere, probably it’s on YouTube, and they literally asked Jon Ola Sand if there was any chance NZ could be in Eurovision, and he somewhat diplomatically and assertively said something along the lines of:

“There are no plans for NZ to participate. Australia is a special case because they’ve broadcasted the show for 35 years (40 this year). To have a chance, NZ would actually have to broadcast the show for a start.”

So apparently they did—for two years—and then gave up.

There is no debate.

 

[Simon]

Have you selected Kylie & Jason yet or

No and nor should we!

 

[Mrlazzyjazzy]

Wasn't expecting the dragging, I misinterpreted that article I'm sorry lol.

No dragging. It’s all love here. Sorry if my words were less gentile than they should’ve been. We love NZ. Half a million or at least 1 in 10 Kiwis live in Australia, so they have every right to participate when they’re here. And now as the international vote!

Paul Clarke has started following Kylie Minogue and her record label Warner on IG recently. He is the Creative Director for Australia and was the Head Of Delegation untill I can't remember if it was last year or the year before.
