The response from SBS management on #Eurovision is pathetic.
The question they must answer is:
"If you agreed with the 2022 EBU decision that the inclusion of Russia would 'bring the competition into disrepute', how can you possibly justify genocidal Israel?" #auspol

Five countries have now pledged to boycott the song contest's 2026 edition. Here's what you need to know.
