PM's wardrobe malfunction and SUV diplomacy: What you missed from the Pacific summit - Video

Australia's fossil fuel exports remain a source of tension as Pacific leaders double down on their support for a bid to co-host global climate talks . The first stop on Albanese's Pacific trip was Vanuatu, where it was widely expected a long-awaited $500 million pact would be signed with leader Jotham Napat . The Nakamal Agreement would have seen Australia provide an additional $50 million in aid per year to the nation for the next decade . The deal was meant to have been finalised and settled well before Albanese boarded his RAAF jet . Solomon Islands hosting of the PIF in the bustling, muggy capital of Honiara has fuelled the contest for influence in the Pacific region . Among the new displays of calculated charity from international partners were rival fleets of vehicles . Australia promised a fleet, including Ford Rangers and Toyota Hiluxes, to be liveried in the colours of Solomon Islands police, but it was China's high-end Great Wall Motor SUVs that would ferry the leaders from venue to venue .
