I don’t really see what all the mystery or outrage is about. Australia simply has to realise that Hillsong connected Idols are in the top 12 due to their talent and nothing else. Hillsong Church probably does more than any institute in the country to nurture and train young musicians. The Hillsong musicians are among the best in the country. Put two and two together and work it out.
