How come Australia is in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Australia entering the contest was a one-time thing in 2015 when the contest celebrated its 60th birthday and because the contest is very popular in the land downunder, but that same year Australia ended 5th in the ranking in the Grand Final. The EBU decided on giving them a 5-year streak to compete in the contest. This meant that the last time they would compete would be in 2023, but in December of 2023 the EBU decided on letting Australia compete again in 2024.
