Opinions re the appearance of Charles on $5 Notes doesn't matter all that much. Inflation in the foreseeable future will ensure that $5 notes will be replaced with $5 coins.
Lizzie never appeared on the higher valued Notes anyway.
Have to say this is a sad turn of events in my opinion. We will see what lies ahead for the various political parties and their agendas. In the end, we are but one nation, by law, ruled by the Crown.

In my opinion, issuing a $5 will only happen if there is a total re-design (metal composition, size, perhaps motifs) of the current coinage. Frankly, I do not see that happen in Australia. In contrast to New Zealand, that ship has sailed some time ago. The time frame for a re-design has past. These days, it would probably cost more to change the coinage than it would save. (Same situation as getting rid of the $1 banknote in the USA and replace it with $1 coins). But perhaps, I am wrong...regarding Australia.
