Well yeah I don’t really see why Kazakhstan can’t participate when Australia can
How long have they wanted to join the contest?

I had nothing better to do than watch JESC this afternoon, so I came, I saw and I wasn't here for that.
The sadness of seeing Kazakhs top the jury vote with their Disney ballad while those points needed to go Tuleshova's way last year. :? Unfortunate.
Congrats I guess, but that's not the kind of song I want to see from them.
What will stop the EBU from allowing them to compete?
I seriously believe that the EBU brought in Australia to have another "Western"-like country to gain a better balance... I also believe that the EBU (like many Eurovision fans have already shown as well) is afraid of getting another country which heavily votes for neighbouring countries (especially Russia).
However, let's have a look at Kazakhstan's jury votes in JESC:
2018:
Top scores: 12 North Macedonia, 10 Italy, 8 Malta
4 pts Russia
0 pts Azerbaijan
2019:
Top scores: 12 Poland, 10 Ireland, 8 Australia
3 pts Russia
This point is invalid. I mean, Kazakhstan has clearly shown that it can vote in a very fair way. Besides, if it decides to give 12 pts to Russia in ESC, it's their right to do so. It's not like Germany didn't give Switzerland 10 pts this year....
