Australia’s $5 note, which has borne the face of Queen Elizabeth II since 1992, will be redesigned to reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s connection to country and the overturning of terra nullius – a foundational moment in the fight for land rights.
Unfortunately Labor is scared of referendums now because the Voice failed.
Australians rarely vote “yes” in a referendum. Our rate is 8 positive results in 45 (source).
@Nath the twist is that the ‘no’ side only needs to convince half of Tasmania, SA and WA in order to close it down.
Odd examples. WA is 23/45 - it’s the state most likely to vote Yes, I think.
Results have come down to 3:3 among the states a few times, but I think WA was Yes each time.
Yeah. They really didn’t read the room on that, amongst other things.
