原标题：澳大利亚5元钞或不再印英王头像【新华社微特稿】澳大利亚国库部副部长安德鲁·利13日说，英联邦元首伊丽莎白二世去世后，原本印在5澳元纸钞上的女王头像不会“自动”替换成继任元首查尔斯三世，有可能换成澳大利亚本土代表人物。澳大利亚是英联邦成员，视英国君主为国家元首。    Georgetown women's basketball coach Tasha Butts died Monday after a two-year battle with breast cancer, the school's athletic director said.The 41-year-old coach was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer in 2021. She stepped away from coaching Georgetown last month. Her diagnosis inspired the Tasha Tough campaign which has brought awareness and raised money to bring quality care to women who can’t afford it through the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.“I am heartbroken for Tasha’s family, friends, players, teammates and colleagues,” said Georgetown athletic director Lee Reed. “When I met Tasha, I knew she was a winner on the court, and an incredible person whose drive, passion and determination was second to none. She exhibited these qualities both as a leader and in her fight against breast cancer. This is a difficult time for the entire Georgetown community, and we will come together to honor her memory.”She came to Georgetown from Georgia Tech this past April after a long coaching and professional WNBA career. She joined the Georgia Tech women’s basketball staff as an assistant coach in April 2019, and was promoted to associate head coach two years later. While at Georgia Tech in 2021, Butts announced she had been diagnosed with advanced stage metastatic breast cancer.“Tasha’s passing is a devastating loss. She was extraordinary," Georgetown president John J. DeGioia said. “Tasha was a person of character, determination, vision, and kindness. She will be deeply missed by our community and by so many people around the country who have been inspired by her life.”When Butts stepped away last month, Georgetown named assistant Darnell Haney as the interim head coach. He said last week that he had been in constant contact with Butts while she was undergoing treatment.“We kept her up to date with what’s going on with the program. Shoot her a text on how practice went, how things are going in the conference,” he said. “Do stuff to make her smile and keep her mind off what was she was going through. We’d send her film from practice.”Teams across the country would post videos on social media every Tuesday during October to try and lift Butts’ spirits and remind her she wasn’t alone in the fight against cancer.Before coaching at Georgia Tech, Butts was an assistant first at Duquesne, UCLA and LSU. She spent eight seasons with the Tigers.Butts starred at Tennessee from 2000-04, playing for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt. The Lady Vols went 124-17 with her playing and advanced to the NCAA championship game in 2003 and 04. She was part of four SEC regular-season championship teams at the school.She had a brief career in the WNBA after getting chosen 20th by the Minnesota Lynx in the 2004 draft. She played for Minnesota, Charlotte and Houston.She is survived by her parents Spencer, Sr. and Evelyn, her brother Spencer, Jr. and her nephew Marquis.___AP women’s college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketball。

B | 按照现行法律，澳大利亚的硬币必须刻印英国君主头像，不过，纸钞不受此规约束。

C | 按照安德鲁·利的说法，澳方在5澳元纸钞上印伊丽莎白二世头像，并非因为对方的君主身份，而是表达对女王个人的尊重，因此，如果决定更换头像，不会“自动”替换成英国新国王。当记者问到澳政府是否考虑把头像换成某个澳大利亚名人时，安德鲁·利表示，政府会就此展开讨论，“不着急下决定，当务之急是更改硬币设计”。澳大利亚铸币厂同一天宣布，明年不会发行任何带有伊丽莎白二世像的流通币。自伊丽莎白二世1953年加冕以来，澳大利亚累计发行总币值大约150亿澳元的女王像硬币。路透社报道，伊丽莎白二世的去世再次引发澳大利亚等英联邦国家有关是否废除君主立宪制、改为共和制的讨论。在1999年一次公民投票中，澳大利亚选民选择继续以英王为国家元首，当时支持和反对票差距很小。（完）（沈敏）返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
