AUSTRALIAN MONARCHISTS WANT CHARLES NOTE

In 2023, the RBA announced it would be replacing the nation's longest reigning monarch with a design that celebrates the connection that First Nations peoples have to Country.

On Tuesday, The Australian Monarchist League (AML) revealed a compromise design that pays tribute to both Indigenous Australians and maintains the tradition of featuring the Monarch on the banknote.

The proposed design includes Uluru on the left, the wattle and rainbow serpent in the middle and King Charles III on the right.

Many took to social media to comment on the design, with a petition attracting hundreds of signatures within hours of launching.

Heather McPherson said: Ï don't particularly like Charles but he should be on our $5 note as our beloved Queen was.

Allan Evans slammed the decision, telling the RBA to maintain the status quo.

Put the Monarch back on $5 note, he said.

In 1966, Australia's $1 banknote featured both Queen Elizabeth II and Indigenous Australians with monarchists calling for this to happen again.
