Some 200 million people around the world spent last night watching Israel on TV — and saw culture, not conflict.
In the Eurovision Song Contest Australia failed to realise hopes of victory, and finished ninth, as Dutch contestant Duncan Laurence took top spot with the song Arcade.
Australia’s ambassador to Israel, Chris Cannan, told The AJN, “The crowd at the Eurovision final responded very enthusiastically to Kate’s performance of Zero Gravity.
THANK YOU Europe and Australia for your support, your messages, and your votes. It’s been the adventure of a lifetime. Flying home now. #eurovision #zerogravity #home pic.twitter.com/3H3xTFcN0j
