to move:

That the House:

(1)
acknowledges the important contributions of Australian, New Zealand, British and Greek soldiers and Greek civilians in the defence of Crete against the 20 May 1941 German invasion;
(2)
calls for the annual commemoration of the Battle for Crete within Australia as an event of national significance; and
(3)
encourages reflection on the shared experiences of Australian and Greek nationals through the Battle for Crete, the bond forged between our two nations in a time of war, and the evolution of Australian-Greek relations within the post-war period.
