One of the novelties caused quite a surprise. Australian newspapers reported the decision not to stamp the new banknotes with Charles III's photo. Instead, the cells will be stamped in homage to the national indigenous history.
Why did they decide to remove the image of the monarchy from the new banknotes?
The change came as a result of pressure that the Labor Party has been putting on the government, so that the referendum recognizes indigenous peoples in the continuation of the country. The decision taken by the Central Bank came from a discussion that was resumed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, concerning the fact that the government is a parliamentary monarchy.
All political discussions about the country's future are increasingly ahead of the government's eyes. As much as the government claims that this is not the time for this issue to be discussed.
Which means that the changes that are now being implemented are strongly politically motivated. That's not a bad thing though, as Indigenous Peoples make up around 2% of the Australian population.
The centrist Labor Party claims that the request for these changes is to guarantee the rights of indigenous peoples in the country.
How are people taking the news?
Apparently the idea of these new changes has been well received by some. Like treasurer Jim Chalmers, who said, “The monarch will still be in the coins, but the [Australian] $5 bill will say more about our history, our heritage and our country, and I see that as a good thing.”
The Central Bank will contact indigenous peoples to decide which will be the best image to be portrayed in the new 5 dollar cells. However, this change is still in progress and there is no scheduled date for the start of circulation of the new banknotes.
In addition, the face of King Charles III will continue on the coins and banknotes with the face of Queen Elizabeth. II, remained circulating until they were replaced by cells stamped with the image of the peoples indigenous.
