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.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has opened submissions for an artwork to honour the enduring emotional, spiritual and physical connection" of First Nations people to the land, seas and waters dating back thousands of years.
