Petition to have Mr Pantellios on the $50 note

The issue

We stand at a moment in time where history is not just remembered—it is chosen. Symbols matter. Faces on our currency are more than portraits; they are declarations of who we value, who we honor, and what stories we decide to carry forward in every exchange, every transaction, every hand that passes it along.

And yet, one name—one presence—has been overlooked for far too long: Mr Pantellios, aka chris p bacon.

This is more than a call for recognition. It is a demand for rightful acknowledgment. Mr Pantellios represents integrity, resilience, and a spirit that refuses to be forgotten. His impact, whether felt in quiet moments or bold actions, deserves to be etched into the very fabric of our national identity.

Why should the $50 note remain unchanged, when it has the power to tell a new story? A story that inspires. A story that reflects the voices of today. A story that reminds us that greatness is not confined to the past—it lives among us.

Let this be the moment we act. Let this be the moment we say his name belongs where it can never be ignored again.

So, if you care about the future of Australia, and long for the days you finally get to have Mr P's charming face peeking up at you from your wallet whenever you go to pay for your lunch, lets put chris p bacon on the $50 note.

Sign this petition—not just for recognition, but for legacy.
