'Policy failure': Cash on unsigned Australia-PNG treaty
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has left Papua New Guinea without securing a landmark defence treaty.
Instead, the PM and his PNG counterpart James Marape have signed a non-binding communiqué, agreeing to keep advancing the treaty process.
It marks the second Pacific setback for Australia this month, with a $500 million security and economic deal with Vanuatu remaining unsigned.
