Group calls for NZ to follow Aus with removing monarch from money

From Checkpoint, 6:06 pm on 3 February 2023

There has been a call tonight for Aotearoa to follow Australia and drop the monarch from our bank notes.

Australia's reserve bank anounced it will not replace the image of Queen Elizabeth the second on its five dollar notes with an image of King Charles.

Instead it will consult on a design that honours the culture and history of first nations people.

New Zealand Republic, Kia Mana Motuhake a Aotearoa wants us to do the same.

Campaign chair Lewis Holden spoke with Lisa Owen.
