King Charles III will not feature on Australia's new five dollar note, the country's central bank has announced.

The new design will pay tribute to "the culture and history of the First Australians", the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) says.

A portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II appears on the current design of five dollar note.

The Queen's death last year reignited debates about Australia's future as a constitutional monarchy.

"This decision by the Reserve Bank Board follows consultation with the Australian Government, which supports this change," the bank said in a statement.

Good, France, Germany, Russia, China, Italy, Greece etc have done alright without Royals, people getting vast wealth and power just because of who their parents were.

The British royal family ancestors were slavers.

So what?    Africans were "slavers" also; is the current generation and the previous, and the previous responsible for the actions of their ancestors?

 

Where are you from, Old Croc?

I'm from a country that the British invaded, slaughtered or enslaved the local inhabitants and despoiled the natural environment in their efforts to recreate their home conditions.

Which one, what's the big secret?

Too broad a description? 

 

For someone only a little smart, a clue could be found in my nik or even from my interest in this thread.

You're saying that India is destitute as a result of the UK's actions?   Presumably you've read your own links, I can't be arsed going through them all if you can't answer my question, all I asked was which countries were left destitute by the UK?   If you have to provide googled links, that you haven't read properly, I take it you can't name any.

At the time of the end of the colonial rule. I posted a link that made the argument you are alluding to.
