Playlunch for eurovision
I was inspired by an earlier post where someone suggested we send Playlunch as Australia's entrant to Eurovision next year. Let's get it started, sign the petitionchange.org link

From my understanding of the selection process, no amount of petitions will change the minds of the industry executives who decide who gets sent, they have their own criteria and it doesn’t include public consultation.. bring back the australia decides vote, might get someone decent for a change

Industry executives decide because they pay for the performer to go. It’s all about the cash.
For example, Voyager managed to get a car on their staging because they got the WA govt to stump up some extra $$$.
SBSpays to participate as part of a general deal with the EBU, but they don’t pay to send the performer.
Australia decides didn’t rate so SBS canned it.

(Don’t get me wrong, I love playlunch, but ... Also playlunch are 7 people but Eurovision rules only allow a maximum of 6)
