Never saw that at the time. I wonder how that sits with the irony that the competition was held in Israel with Australia taking part?

Israel I can kind of get given they are “European” for certain sports due to political reasons but why do Australia have anything to do with it? I thought their entrance a few years ago was meant to be a one-off? Originally Posted by Jack Hackett

Down to their "European" ancestry and the fact they used to broadcast it on tv for decades although not actually participating, I guess Originally Posted by overdrive

- bit like the "Champions League" being full of teams who are not actually champions ... I only ever watch the bit at the end where the points are awarded, never listen to the song section - Austria never gives Germany any points, even when "we" win with a decent song ...
