The Northern Territory chapter of the Hellenic Australian Lawyers Association (HAL NT) has hosted its 1821 Oration at the Supreme Court in Darwin, marking the legacy of the Greek War of Independence.

The event, held in Court 1 of the Supreme Court of the NT, was attended by senior judicial figures including Chief Justice Michael Grant and Chief Judge Elizabeth Morris, alongside honorary Philhellenes and members of the legal and wider community.

The evening featured a scholarly oration dedicated to the heroism of Laskarina Bouboulina, as well as musical performances and traditional Greek hospitality.
