Passionate petitioners Vincent Wu and Kirby Miles are on a mission to replace the late Queen Elizabeth II with Australian conservationist and “crocodile hunter” Steve Irwin on the 5 note.
Wu and Miles, like many other Australians, would much prefer Irwin to Queen Elizabeth’s more obvious replacement, King Charles III. Together, the petitioners have collected 42 signatures for their cause so far on the Australian Parliament House website.
Assistant Treasury Minister Andrew Leigh‘s recent statement on the matter gave petitioners hope.
Although he already confirmed that the king will feature on Australian coins “as a matter of tradition,” it sounds like the 5 note might actually be a different story.
“The decision to include the Queen’s face on the 5 note was about her personally rather than about her status as the monarch so that transition [to Charles on the note] isn’t automatic,” he explained.
Irwin, the beloved Aussie wildlife expert himself, tragically passed away...
