Will ‘Asiavision’ Bridge the Gap Between Australia and the Asia-Pacific?
The ‘Eurovision’ song contest is an annual event loved by many not only for its colourful performances and catchy songs, but for bringing together both European nations and those from other countries who engage in the spectacle.
The SBS has recently announced a deal to develop an equivalent contest for the Asia-Pacific region. ‘Asiavision’ would unite nations within the Asia-Pacific region, a region which includes Australia. But many don’t truly think of Australia when they think of ‘Asia’. Does Australia have a chance to enter ‘Asiavision’, and will it create a stronger relationship with our Asian partners?
To tell us more about ‘Asiavision’ we had Damien Spry, Honorary Associate at the University of Sydney.
