well well well guess jon ola sand lied when he said it's a one off and they'll only be back if they win, what a surrpise.
and they are already "lying" about 2017
"Australia's participation is secured for 2016, but it is yet to be decided whether Australia will become a permanent participant in the contest."
why don't you just put them to the big 5 and be over with it.
at least they have to go through the semi this time.
what worries me the most is this: "It remains to be seen what such an event may look like in the long run" no bitch, do a seperate worldwide song contest if you must.
you know part of the fun for me was always that the contest moves to different cities/countries. now with australia already in it they are unable to host it in their country so that's stupid already imo. but if they want to include even more countries it will be a mess.
let me listen to ein bisschen frieden or i'll make a quick visit to geneva where ebu is situated, it's only 3 hours away mr. sand. i'm just telling you.
Imagine Iceland ha revenge, they air the show at 7PM local time so the hosts wouldn't be dead like in the far east
