Australia's Liberal Party is facing a leadership vote tomorrow.

This got us at Aussievision thinking - what connections do Liberal leaders and deputy leaders have with Eurovision?

The answer - surprisingly, there are a few! Sadly, though neither Angus Taylor nor Sussan Ley seem to have connections, 1970s punk rock doesn't seem to be a common genre at Eurovision.

However, several other Liberal Party leaders and deputies have connections to Eurovision.

Tony Abbott, Australia's 28th Prime Minister, who led the Liberal Party from 2009 to 2015, made remarks in solidarity with Ukraine's Eurovision win in 2016.

In an interview with Sky News just after Eurovision 2016, Mr Abbott was asked for his thoughts on Australia's Dami Im finishing second to Ukraine's Jamala.

Mr Abbott stated, "I have a lot of goodwill for the Ukraine, I think ... Ukraine has suffered a lot over the last couple of decades and I think they're currently suffering at the hands of a bully ... So if [winning Eurovision] helps their morale I think [Australia] should be prepared to accept second place."

Malcolm Turnbull, who deposed Mr Abbott as both Prime Minister and Liberal leader in September 2015, also commented on Eurovision 2016.

From his official Twitter account, Mr Turnbull congratulated both Dami and Jamala on their Eurovision success.

He wrote: "Congrats [Dami] on winning the jury vote in the [Eurovision] final and to [Jamala] for winning the contest."

Julie Bishop, who served as Liberal deputy leader from 2007 to 2018, has several Eurovision connections.

In 2015, as Foreign Minister, she tweeted "Exciting news! [Australia] to compete on global stage [Eurovision] 2015."

Three years later she went further posting a video on Twitter in support of Jessica Mauboy representing Australia at Eurovision 2018.

In 2018, Ms Bishop also met Malta's Eurovision entrant that year Christabelle, when the latter performed her Eurovision entry Taboo at British Parliament.

Daniel Kajmakoski, who represented North Macedonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, has been the victim of a shocking kidnapping in Serbia.

The incident took place in Belgrade near the Beton Hala area after the singer had finished a performance.

Serbian media report that two men intercepted Daniel while he was inside his car and forced their way into the vehicle.

The attackers restrained him, bound his hands, and drove off in his own car.

While holding him captive, the kidnappers allegedly demanded a ransom of around €20,000.

Police were alerted shortly after the abduction and began tracking the vehicle.

Officers intercepted the car during a pursuit on the road towards Ruma.

The kidnappers abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, leaving the singer tied up inside.

Police freed the singer at the scene and transported him for medical assessment.

In comments reported by Serbian media, Daniel’s wife said he is alive, safe, and recovering, but the family is under severe stress.

She added that he cannot speak publicly about the incident while the investigation continues.

Serbian authorities have confirmed the case is being treated as a kidnapping, with an investigation ongoing.

Daniel Kajmakoski represented North Macedonia at Eurovision 2015 in Vienna with Autumn Leaves.

He finished 15th in his semi-final, missing a spot in the Grand Final.

He has won the X Factor Adria and the Serbian version of Your Face Sounds Familiar.

Cyprus have released their Eurovision 2026 song, with Antigoni set to sing Jalla in Vienna, Austria.

Antigoni was internally selected as the artist for Cyprus back in November 2025. She was also the first artist announced for Eurovision 2026.

The song was revealed on the main evening news on RIK 1.

The song Jalla translates to “more” in the Cypriot-Greek dialect. The music video was filmed at several different location of Cypriot towns and villages.

Antigoni, whose last name is Buxton, was born and raised in North London, and has Greek Cypriot roots.

In 2022 she competed on the eighth season of the British version of Love Island. However she was one of the first contestants "dumped" from the program.

Antigoni has released many hit songs, they include You Can Have Him, Sleeping Alone and Habibi.

She often showcases her Cypriot heritage by incorporating traditional Cypriot instrumentation through her music, mixing it with more contemporary genres.

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are about to begin and Eurovision and Sanremo stars have already been part of the action.

From late November the Olympic torch made its way from Greece to Italy in early December.

Carrying the flame in various locations across Italy have been many familiar names to Eurovision and Sanremo fans.

Achille Lauro

The Italian singer represented San Marino at Eurovision with Stripper.

He has also competed at Sanremo four times, with his best place being 7th in 2025 with Incoscienti giovani.

He carried the torch on the first day of its journey in Italy, and in true Achille Lauro style, right in front of the Colosseum.

Noemi

On the same day Achille Lauro carried the torch, so did Sanremo star Noemi.

She has competed at the Festival nine times, with her best result 3rd in 2012.

Al Bano

Al Bano competed at Eurovision twice for Italy in 1976 and 1985.

His 1976 entry with wife Romina Power We'll Live it All Again finished 7th, while his 1985 entry (also with Power) Magic Oh Magic also finished 7th.

He carried the torch in Florence on the 6th day of the relay in Italy.

Arisa

Arisa has competed in the Sanremo Music Festival five times, winning the title in 2014 with Contravento.

However, in those years the winner of Sanremo wasn't offered the Eurovision Song Contest placement. Instead Emma Marrone was chosen internally.

Arisa is due to compete in this year's Sanremo Music Festival.

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony takes place on Friday 5 February in Europe (Saturday 6 February). Coverage of Channel 9 in Australia.

Dara will represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2026!!

The second of three shows to select Bulgaria's Eurovision entry for 2026 has wrapped up, and we now know that Dara will be heading to Vienna in May.

Eight finalists performed one of their previously released songs - different to the one they performed in the semi-final - in the hope of securing the chance to represent Bulgaria at Eurovision.

Also taking to the stage were two artists already set to represent their countries this year: Alis from Albania performed his song Nân, and AIDAN from Malta performed his song Bella. We also saw performances from Bulgarian artists Nevena Tsoneva and Ivo Dimchev, as well as Eldar of Ell & Nikki who achieved the win for Azerbaijan in 2011 with the song Running Scared.

The results were decided by a five-person jury who awarded each song 1-5 points, as well as online voting that gave 8 points to their favourite all the way down to 1 point for the least favourite.

Dara won both the jury and online voting, coming out on top with a total of 30 points. Rounding out the top 3 were Mihaela Marinova with 26 points, and Mona with 23 points.

Dara will represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2026!!

The second of three shows to select Bulgaria's Eurovision entry for 2026 has wrapped up, and we now know that Dara will be heading to Vienna in May.

Eight finalists performed one of their previously released songs - different to the one they performed in the semi-final - in the hope of securing the chance to represent Bulgaria at Eurovision.

Also taking to the stage were two artists already set to represent their countries this year: Alis from Albania performed his song Nân, and AIDAN from Malta performed his song Bella. We also saw performances from Bulgarian artists Nevena Tsoneva and Ivo Dimchev, as well as Eldar of Ell & Nikki who achieved the win for Azerbaijan in 2011 with the song Running Scared.

The results were decided by a five-person jury who awarded each song 1-5 points, as well as online voting that gave 8 points to their favourite all the way down to 1 point for the least favourite.

Dara won both the jury and online voting, coming out on top with a total of 30 points. Rounding out the top 3 were Mihaela Marinova with 26 points, and Mona with 23 points.

The song that Dara will perform at Eurovision is set to be decided at the final show on Saturday 28 February.

Australia's 2025 Eurovision contestant Go-Jo has released his latest single Supersonic.

The track was first performed in July 2024 at Watt en Schlick Festival, and later teased as a potential new single on his socials in November of the same year.

During his Australian and European tours in 2025 Go-Jo continued to tease the release of the song with performances of Supersonic, including at James Blunt's Back to Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour this past October, where he was Blunt's supporting act.

The single follows his recent releases of Appetite, a collaboration with fellow Eurovision alum Erika Vikman in October, and Merry Christmas from Australia, a festive song in collaboration with singer-songwriter Salem Ilese in November.

Supersonic is available for download and streaming on all online music platforms.
