TV & rights:

Australia’s host TV broadcaster SBS is part of the European Broadcasting Union, otherwise known as the EBU.

And *this* is a qualification requirement for entering the Eurovision Song Contest.

Apparently Eurovision is like f**king massive in Australia (assuming it's all the diasporas and that) so the TV ad revenue will be huge as the interest is huge.

They were invited as guests to the 60 Eurovision SC (the "Theme" was building bridges) and have been invited back ever since on a case by case basis. On February 12, 2019, Eurovision confirmed that Australia has secured a spot in the competition for the next five years until 2023.

In the event that Australia should win the Eurovision Song Contest, the European Broadcasting Union had confirmed that in accordance with the rules, Australia would not host the event in the southern hemisphere, and instead would co-host the contest within a country in the EBU.

Further to the EBU’s statement, it was confirmed that Germany and their broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) would be the first choice, and the UK and the BBC being the back-up hosts should Germany decline.

Now then, that's you up to speed on the Australias in the Eurovisions news. Enjoy the diversity/ridiculousness of it Steve, it's just a daft bit of fun.
