Honestly, the scary thing is that Ireland kept sending more “normal” or, you might say, “expected” acts, the last few years, and not even making it through to the Final, and then they sent this freak, this year, and the public voted it through to the final…
Trouble is that when that sort of situation happens, countries tend to send similar acts the next couple of years, so… Expect more of this type of vile stuff to come out of Eire, the next few years.
Unfortunately I don’t think RTE gives a shit what the public thinks; they’re more likely to listen to that subreddit I linked than to the general public at large…
You’ll be glad to hear (if you haven’t already) that they didn’t even make the final, lol…
But yeah, SBS is acting as if this is the first time we’ve sent an “Indigenous” performer, despite, by my count, this being the fifth damn time, which is more than half of our total participations…
Oh, but none of those were faggots, “sang” in Abo, or played a didge on stage, which somehow makes this “historic”, apparently…
Insane. Absolute clown world, and, as you say, absolutely not what the country wanted…
A bit like how SBS (along with our telcos) blocks both televoting and SMS voting in this country, which makes it much harder and more tedious for Aussies to vote (it’s online, and you still have to pay), because they fucking hate us, essentially…
There aren’t many other participating countries that hold their own populace in such contempt, compared to SBS (and maybe the BBC + RTE), I feel.
Ireland is pushing back hard against the invasion. They probably did this on purpose to demoralize and humiliate.

Did they though? Or is it selection bias as the "voting public" are comprised of people who completely support this kind of "entertainment"?
They chose gay aboriginal shit in aus this yeah.
The state broadcaster did I mean. The public didn't choose that same act years ago when it was a democratic vote.
So now the gay and lame 2nd state broadcaster chooses.
The people don't want this, even eurovision watchers don't want this.

thankfully the shit act didn't make the cut
