Pacific unity tensions: The same summit highlighted fractures over China and Taiwan, with some leaders absent and debate over whether representation gaps signal deeper disunity. Resettlement secrecy row (Australia–Nauru link): Australia’s $2.5bn resettlement deal framework with Nauru moved from secrecy to disclosure after Labor dropped confidentiality around the MOU governing the NZYQ cohort.
