OGAE results from Australia:
Things mostly went as expected, I guess - Australian fans always seem to love the dance bangers even when they're not popular on other polls/odds, so with a lot of them leading the polls anyway this year, it's no surprise to see the likes of Israel, Finland, and Cyprus up high. Israel in particular was about the most obvious 12 ever. Higher-than-average points for Sweden are par for the course as well, and past that everything on the list is just a glut of other market/poll favourites.
I will say, at least, that I'm surprised to see zero points to Greece. I've commented before that Australia has given Greece far less points than expected since 2015 given our large Greek diaspora – with a lot of Greek fans in our Eurovision fandom as well – but with this being the first year since Australia joining that Greece has actually sent something decent, I figured they might have gotten a few points here. That said, I suppose it's not the sort of thing that I've seen doing well with Aussie Eurofans in the past; perhaps the Greek diaspora vote went more to Cyprus instead.
A little sad to see some of my favourites out of the list entirely, despite me being one of the voters in the poll... I did what I could, Hungary, but my 12 was apparently not enough

I feel like I'm not listening to the same song!
