Australia to Remove , British Monarchs , From Future Bank Notes.

Associated Press reports that Australia made the announcement on February 2.

Australia's central bank said that the new five dollar bill would feature an Indigenous design that will replace King Charles III.

However, AP reports that the king will continue to appear on coins that currently bear the image of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Australia's five dollar bill was the nation's last remaining bank note to still feature the likeness of the British monarch.

According to Australia's Reserve Bank, the decision came after consultation with the center-left Labor Party government.

.

AP reports that opponents of the move claim it was politically motivated.

According to the central bank, the new five dollar bill will replace the portrait of the queen, who died last year, with an image that honors, “the culture and history of the First Australians.”.

The monarch will still be on the coins, but the $5 note will say more about our history and our heritage and our country, and I see that as a good thing, Jim Chalmers, Australian Treasurer, via Associated Press.

In 1999, Australians voted in a referendum proposed by the Labor government to keep the British monarch as Australia's head of state.

AP reports that Queen Elizabeth II appeared on at least 33 different currencies, more than any other monarch, at one time.

Pope’s Funeral: Trump, Melania Lands in Rome for Pope Francis' Funeral Amid Seating Row Speculation

Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc

Pope’s Funeral: Trump to Get ‘Humiliating’ Third-Row Seats at Funeral as Royals Take Front Row

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third row—behind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement “humiliating,” especially after Trump had mocked Biden’s 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trump’s past remarks. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~

UK to SEAL Border in Crackdown on Migration as Liberal PM Starmer Takes Hardline Conservative Turn

The UK government is rolling out stricter visa rules to curb mass immigration and prioritize domestic hiring. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called mass immigration a “failed experiment” and pledged to regain control over Britain’s borders. New reforms will halt overseas care worker recruitment, raise English language requirements for dependents, and restrict skilled visas to graduate-level jobs. While critical sectors like healthcare and AI will see fast-tracked entries, settlement will now require 10 years of residence. The Labour-led move marks a dramatic shift in the UK’s migration policy landscape. #UKImmigration #VisaReform #KeirStarmer #UKPolicy #ImmigrationNews #MassImmigration #UKBorders #SkilledMigrants #CareWorkers #MigrantPolicy #BritishPolitics #EnglishTest #VisaLaws #WorkVisas #UKLabourParty #StarmerMoves #MigrationCrisis #BorderControl #UKNews #ImmigrationDebate #UKGovt #PolicyShift #LegalMigration #ImmigrationRules #UKWorkforce #MigrantCareWorkers #SettlementRules #VisaUpdate #LabourReform #UKJobsFirst #AIImmigration Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc
