Media Release: Reserve Bank should take note of Aussie $5 decision

“The decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia to not replace the late Queen with Charles on the Aussie $5 note should indicate to our Reserve Bank that it’s time to change the NZ $20 note” said Lewis Holden, campaign chair of New Zealand Republic, Kia Mana Motuhake a Aotearoa.

“Australia’s Reserve Bank is now consulting with the public on who should be on the $5 note. Our Reserve Bank should be doing the same - a petition by ActionStation on this issue has attracted over 2,000 signatures,” said Mr Holden.

“It’s time to make our money reflect Aotearoa” concluded Mr Holden.
