Barring Pacific journalists from Australian PM Albanese's press conference at #PIFLM54 in Honiara has left quite an impression.
The Australian Government says Australia is part of the Pacific 'family.' But at the recent Pacific Islands Forum, local journalists were shut out of the Australian PM's press conference. You don't treat family like that. #auspol

"It is clear that much of the [Pacific Islands Forum] leaders’ time & energy was taken up with discussions on the Review of Regional Architecture, in particular the approach to current and prospective dialogue partners," say @TCNPacific & @StefArmbruster. https://t.co/19ikPt35nl

The leaders’ meeting underscored that Pacific regionalism is too much about reviewing itself, which saps the Forum’s energy, say Newton-Cain and Armbruster.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegeseth just publicly applauded Senator Katie Britt for her recent work! Top Republicans are calling Katie of the 'most effective leaders' of the US Senate...and she's just getting started. Does Katie have YOUR support? Join her team now!

So why wasn’t the regions’ media, bar a single Aussie who writes for a Pacific masthead, allowed into the room? #MediaWatch

Like all Forum leaders Albo is pressed for time and prioritises contact with Aussie journalists to sell his message to voters. But if Australia is serious about the rhetoric (vuvale, family, partner of choice), how about a 2026 press conference for Pacific journalists as well?

Wow, Pacific island journalists barred from attending Australian PM's presser. Can't say it's the first time this kind of treatment has happened, sadly. https://t.co/5kIWAXrjFX

Today was not Nour Swiriki's turn to die. That's what she and her journalist colleagues tell each other after surviving yet another Israeli attack in Gaza. "Today is not your turn," they say. "Your turn might be tomorrow or after tomorrow." https://t.co/WOdW1VOfCt

Israel has killed 240 Palestinian journalists, according to a local union. Those still standing say "no one is safe".
