Good news, everyone.

Aussies get behind proposal to change currency to dollarydoos

The slump in the price of key export commodities has dragged down economic growth and taken the Australian dollar with it. Thanks to Hawke and Keating's reforms the daily fluctuations in the dollar are now largely beyond government control but there is one shot in the locker a brave government can take to lift the struggling Aussie.

An online petition that has gained over 5000 signatures calls on the leaders of Australia's major parties to get behind a proposal to rename the currency "Dollarydoos".

"This will make millions of people around the world want to get their hands on some Australian currency due to the real life Simpsons reference, driving up the value of the Australian currency," the petition's author Thomas Probst argues.
