I don't know how she has the voice left for the second edition of the song. But she's a pro - to paraphrase an Aussie rules saying, those nails don't get any shorter even when you're tired!

Fireworks and confetti rain everywhere!
Despite Australia competing in Eurovision for the last EIGHT years, this question inevitable comes up.
So, for what is hopefully the last time...
In 2014, Eurovision invited Aussie singer Jess Mauboy to perform during the grand finale.
Then in 2015, as a part of Eurovision's 60th birthday celebrations, Australia was invited to compete in the competition.
After this, the European Broadcasting Union struck a deal with SBS to keep Australia in the contest until 2023.
Okay, that's it!
Btw Israel, Cyprus, Morocco - all not European countries, all competed in Eurovision!
Will it be Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö in 2024?
Finland had hope for a short time but no one could topple Sweden's Loreen
"This is overwhelming. I'm so happy and so thankful. Thank you for this. This is for you. Thank you."
Now she will do the traditional winner's reprise, singing Tattoo again.
Australia deserved better! Well done Voyager, we are proud of you!

Well done to Voyager, Promise hit the right notes but not so much with televoters. They finished 9th, a great top 10 result.
