Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers indicated that the government would begin its push to turn Australia into a republic after the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is finalised.

Speaking on ABC’s Q and A program, Chalmers said he would prefer to see an Australian replace the late Queen Elizabeth II for the new design of the five dollar note rather than King Charles III.
