Indigenous design to replace Queen on Australian $5 note

An Indigenous design, rather than King Charles, will replace Queen Elizabeth II on the Australian $5 note, the Reserve Bank announced this week.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers, who confirmed that the government had consulted with the Reserve Bank about the decision, said it was the “right decision”.
The new banknote, with the Reserve Bank said would “honour the culture and history of the First Australians” will take a number of years to be designed and printed after consultation with Indigenous elders.
quote:
But Opposition Leader Peter Dutton slammed the change as “woke nonsense”, warning that it was an “attack on our systems and institutions”.
Dutton, who is yet to make clear his position on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament which would insert race into the country’s Constitution, said: “I know the silent majority don’t agree with a lot of the woke nonsense that goes on.

That doesn't honor them; it makes a mockery of them by pandering in such a meaningless way

King Charles vs Aborigines isn’t a hard choice.

Why not the reverse side.
Why replace her?
ETA - King Charles can be put on TP.

This new design on Australian $ makes me so mad.

I'm fine with putting natives on money. Sacagawea was on the one dollar coin that everyone hated.
We should put pictures of Lakotas fighting wars against the Pawnees to take their land. But, the Lakotas should all look white in order to fit a certain narrative.

Do Aborigines hate white Australians?
Edit: I did my research. Welp...

The design shouldn't be replaced, but ancient art isn't the worst choice. The cave paintings at Lescaux are 20,000 years old and they still look great.

What's more woke... King Charles or actual Australians on their money?
I don't follow the Royals in general, but I'm so used to Queen Elizabeth 'being there' that I'm routinely reminded that she's gone and now England has a King.
Never liked Charles from the start, and now he's King. Just feels weird.
I'd say Aussies deserve better, but this is the gov they chose.

Yep, it’s the same relationship everywhere between whites and certain minorities.

The real outrage should be the fact that they still worship a monarchy.

This the same woke Government that put its own citizens in concentration camps for refusing to be vaxed.
