The Reserve Bank of Australia has just unveiled its new and (allegedly) improved $5 note design, and in news that will surprise no one with an internet connection, Twitter is going nuts in response.
While the size, overall colour and people portrayed on the notes will remain the same to minimise disruption, it’s fair to say that the notes have undergone a vibrant revamp, with the Prickly Moses wattle and the Eastern Spinebill bird added for a splash of national pizzazz.

But it seems that the changes made are not the changes "The People" really want.
Lisa Wilkinson was the first cab off the ranks in pointing out the bleeding obvious. And that is what our oh mighty sovereign leader looks like she did 23 years ago when the polymer notes were originally issued.
But some users had other ideas of who should appear on the new $5 note.
