Northern Territory still has fireworks on Territory Day "Territory Day marks the day when the Northern Territory shook off Commonwealth control and achieved self-government in 1978. 'Cracker Night', as the NT's public fireworks night is known, became associated with it a few years later, in the early '80s. Originally held on Guy Fawkes Day, it was moved after the NT parliament decided that date was "inappropriate because it is based on an old English custom ... [and] not celebrated in any other State of Australia"." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-01/why-the-nt-allows-public-fireworks-use-on-territory-day-july-1/101174064
