From the Australian side it certainly looks like paid placement.
Australia was invited to Eurovision in 2015, since then we just keep pay inviting ourselves back. I think the Government thinks its good for tourism and the Idol franchise love European exposure of its money maker artists.
Our singers have always been in the top ten, this years finished 20th
Maybe its time for change, Australians don't take loss very well.
