  Didn't the previous monarch dissolve your government once in 1975? Pretty bold for someone with no actual power.
context: It should be Bandit Heeler >
  
  Somewhere on the internet is a 5 dollar buck note drawn in Bluey style with a King Charles Spaniel on it for the king. >
  
  There is now... 5 Dollar Bucks >
  
  lol he looks so sad >
  
  His mum died. >
  
  oh yeah that’s right >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  King Charles will not feature on Australia's $5 banknote following a decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia, prompting outrage from the Opposition.
  The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II first appeared on the $5 polymer note in July 1992 when the Queen celebrated the 40th anniversary of her accession.
  "This new design will replace the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."The other side of the $5 banknote will continue to feature the Australian Parliament.

  There is no question about this, that it's directed by the government," he told Sydney radio station 2GB. 
  
  Maybe you folks do things differently down in Australia, but who the hell else would decide what gets printed on money? >
  
  The Reserve Bank of Australia is independent of the government. They're the ones who decide on the notes. They'll consult the government, but the decision lies with them
  Basically, there's going to be an indigenous person on the note rather than an irrelevant monarch from the other side of the world and a whole lot of racists are going to be bent out of shape
  Ironically, the Liberal party in Australia are conservatives. Not a patch on the fucked-up shitty mess like in 'Murica, but still a bunch of bigots stuck in the dark ages >
  
  Like it or not, that 'irrelevant monarch' is still our head of state. >
  
  In name only. >
  
  That's still an important distinction. Everything with "royal" in its name would have to change in a republic. >
  
  Oh no!
  So? >
  
  There's a thing called registered business names. Sure they can change it, but it's more work than "in name only" implies. >
  
  Fill out a form, get a new logo, change the name on the building, print new business cards, get a new URL and change the email footers.  How can a country manage something that any individual setting up a business has to do, it's impossible! >
  
  So you're agreeing it's not "in name only". >
  
  It is in name only, just that there are multiple steps that have to be taken to implement the name change, which at the scale of national institutions is a minor inconvenience that can be handled without issue, not some big hurdle that you're making it out to be. >
  
  I say we put my Mum on it. She's nice. >
  
  Yeah I think it would be cool to have a mumma cassowarry on the $5 note >
  
  a kangaroo would be better >
  
  Already on the dollar coin. >
  
  Bargearse for mine. >
  
  Souvlaki? >
  
  Put Steven Bradbury on it. >
  
  I mean, smart move since he won't be around long anyways... >
  
  If he lives to be a hundred, he could reign for 25 years. Even the youngest people on Reddit will be in their thirties by then. >
  
  His parents lived to 96 and 99 too so this is not really that unlikely. >
  
  The family is rather well cared for. >
  
  Look how old the other European royals live, not all live to nineties. >
  
  Put the Uluru Rock on it ! >
  
  Need to be Bon Scott from AC/DC on it… >
  
  Yeah putting a Scottish bloke on an Australian currency will go down well I imagine >
  
  I thought they had Dame Edna on their notes. >
  
  Symbolic but interesting choice. Australians - you guys thinking of going full on republic in the next 20 years? >
  
  Nope. Ignore the reddit hivemind whinging about 'colonisers' or 'relics of the past'. Most Australians are indifferent and prefer no change to status quo, even if we think the royals are flogs. >
  
  According to consistent polling over the last 20 years approximately 50% of Australians want to be a republic vs 30% monarchists and 20% not knowing/caring. It's definitely not just a Reddit SJW thing. Interestingly monarchism has flipped and got in the lead since just before the queen died. >
  
  One of the reasons the last referendum didn't pass was the kind of system proposed. Politicians would have chosen the president rather than by a public vote. You can want a republic but vote against kinds of republics you don't like. >
  
  President by popular election is a fucking terrible idea and I’ll never support it. The last thing we need is ANOTHER level of politics and PM vs President bullshittery. 
  Give the GG a new title if we must be a republic. The system works. Don’t fuck it up. >
  
  I'm sure there's something in the fine details, but it does sound like the easiest option. >

  At least it’s not Gina Rinehart who has her hands if not her face on the most Australian money. >
  
  *Five Dollarydoos >
  
  If there's someone from recent history who truly deserves his face to be printed on Australian Money, it's the late Stephen Robert (Steve) Irwin. >
  
  Should also rename it to Dollarydoo while at it. >
  
  Should be a 1974 Ford Falcon XB GT. >
  
  Yeah nah, a HO is far more iconic >
  
  Honestly I think a Koala Bear in a suit is the winning combination >
  
  It should be Sassy the Sasquatch >
  
  You fuckin druggo >
  
  I’ve never understood what benefit countries like Australia and Canada get from being in the commonwealth? What’s the point? >
  
  I don't get why people have such massive respect for Elizabeth but way less for her son.  She only gets this respect because she has been queen for a long time, she was never particularly more moral than Charles.  Nor do I get why people would want to abolish the monarchy only after her death, those people are stupid.
  If you think the monarchy is stupid, the difference between the two are irrelevant.  I'm not British, but if I were I would be consistent on this issue, no monarchy unless I am the monarch. >
  
  The should put DickButt on there. >
  
  And call them dollarydoos. >
  
  The Emus did win a war... >
  
  Good. I mean why the hell should the currency in any country feature the face of a rich kid who inherited his so called "title" through birth.  
  I hope Canada follows suit. I want to see a Loon or Terry Fox  on money instead of Charles. >
  
  They should put a pre-colonisaton depiction of Black Mountain and Mt Ainslie from where Parliament House sits now.
  The two mountains that are make the breasts of the namesake of Canberra, and an important meeting place for the Ngunnawal/Ngambri peoples. 
  Or something else of First Nations significance. >
  
  About fuckin time, cunts >
  
  I vote for a Ned Kelly fiver >
  
  Let’s hope Canada follows suit! >
  
  They should just put Wayne Gretzky on all your money >

  Are Australians  still subjects of  the british "royal" family?  Why? The brits at least get all those tourists dollars >
  
  No, but Austrians are sadly still subjects of autocorrect. >
  
  lol . why did the $5 note have the queen on it? >
  
  Because like Canada, Australia is a constitutional monarchy. We didn't fight a multi-year bloody war of independence like America did. 
  We just asked for independence nicely, and one of the stipulations for gaining freedom is the instituting of a constitutional monarchy. Which means while we run our nations completely independently, the British Monarch is still the head of state, even if they have no actual power inside the countries.
  It's why the Queen was on so much currency outside of the UK despite having no power.
