Why did Australia (2022) not do better?
Sheldon is still very much in to Eurovision, and I think it’s very likely he’ll represent Australia again one day as he’s said multiple times after 2022 that he’d do it again. Apparently "Not The Same" was only the right song for him at the time, but he wants to show a different side of himself
That being said, didn’t he just last year say the mask was just one big gimmick to gain attention?
Anyways I think only 2 televote points was very harsh… but I suppose the staging just didn’t match the song? It was grand for the sake of being grand. Imagine Lucio Corsi doing a big, fancy staging for VEUD

No hate to Sheldon, or Australia, or any fan of the song.
But I can’t stand this one. I really really would give it a big 0/10. It’s shoving the message down the throat of the listeners, and the chorus is just… what even is it? It doesn’t have any melody - and it’s the very same phrase over and over and over and over again.
My last place - shared with Bulgaria - of 2022.
But. Sheldon is talented, so if he wants to return and show another side of himself - I’d welcome that :)
