I also hope that the bird (and plant) species that are depicted collectively
across all the new bank notes represent different areas of the continent,
rather than just colourful species that occur in south-eastern or eastern
Australia. The absence of "species" from Western Australia or the Northern
Territory, for instance, may fuel further calls for political secession.

Subject: 'Native' birds on the new $5 banknote
The following from the RBA is not clear to me:
<<The Bank has today (12 April) released images of the new $5 banknote that
will be issued into circulation from 1 September 2016. The images show the
basic design artwork of each side of the banknote.>>
The first sentence suggests it is the final image. The second says it is the
"basic design artwork", which suggests to me it is not the final artwork.
The release also says that the flower and bird theme will follow through other
notes, so one hopes they get it right.
