Each country knows their starting slot at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The European Broadcasting Union and the host broadcaster RTP have announced the running order for both semi finals of the upcoming contest.
Australia will perform as number nine in the second semi final on the 10th of May. Jessica Mauboy needs to be among the ten best acts of the evening, to be able to take part in the grand final two days later as well. The running order for that grand final will be published in the night after the results of that second semi final are available.

PLEASE don’t call the website ESCdaily when you directly focus on one country (Australia). It’s beyond annoying.
