Turns out there was a bit of pent-up demand for Starlink here in Vanuatu. Here's a pic of the local DHL office.

Furious response from China after PIF sticks with the status quo on Taiwan, rejecting a push to strip it of its status as a "development partner." China's Ambassador to the Pacific Xian Bo says it must be a "mistake" and he's demanding the final communique be "corrected"
Final PIF communique now out. Same language endorsing Pacific Policing Initiative (with caveats on national consultation) Leaders back terms of reference for New Caledonia mission and (as expected) reject push to exclude Taiwan from PIF meetings, reaffirm existing policy

Today I spoke with President Mapou of New Caledonia.   I conveyed Australia’s condolences for the loss of life during recent unrest and discussed the value of ongoing dialogue to shape New Caledonia’s institutional future.
