It's actually just a singing competition put together by a number of broadcasters who are apart of a broadcasters union. The title is marketing more than anything.

They have been in Eurovision for over 10 years now. They were brought in for the 60th anniversary and never left

The absolutely deranged thing is that they established that the Australian public did not vote for Israel (because we have strict anti-burner phone laws preventing Israel agents from spamming).

Then the judges selected by SBS also didn't vote for them, reflecting the popular will of the nation.

So it seems like they were picked properly. No mismatch.

so this makes it seem like online and phone voting outside of Australia were definitely rigged

I mean. Isreal is a European colonialist entity so they do belong in euro vision.

They were invited as guests, because a lot of people there watched it and then they just stayed
