To me, that is so rotten - & so offensive!

Can you explain why you find it offensive? Brismike showed me some Australian notes a while back and I remember there were only women on them. From that point of view it seems logical to put a women on the new note 🙂

In Australia, it has been the tradition that the reigning monarch is depicted on the bottom denomination.

This is being done in the name of ‘political correctness’ - which has gone beyond stupid in most countries around the world!

I assumed they were going to keep the Queen on the 5 Dollar note as a tribute or maybe release a commemorative note for the Kings coronation in May.

Anyway I personally have been the third side in the two sided debate on the British monarchy were I both like and dislike the monarchy and those in favour of abolishing it.
