The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House loss of Australian identity ie, the Australian dollar sign. USA sign has 2 strokes as against Australian sign as 1 stroke.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to mount an advertising campaign to make the Australian people aware of the correct signage as was done with dollar bill in 1996.
