In his first overseas trip as PM, Matthew Wale told Albanese he wants to reset diplomatic relations between the two countries, starting work on a major new treaty and signalling a reversal of his predecessor's pro-China stance.

The strategic importance of the Pacific Island nation has been in focus in recent years due to its strengthening ties with China.

Wale said, quote, there's been problems in the last few years between the Solomons and Australia, but he called the resilience of the relationship self-evident.

Both leaders said officials would begin work on a new global security pact.

Albanese said the comprehensive treaty will be, quote, underpinned by mutual trust, respect and open dialogue.

And today's good news, the first Indigenous Australian judge in a court's 174-year history has been sworn in at a ceremony in Melbourne.

Judge Rosemary Faller was appointed to the County Court of Victoria in May, but she was officially sworn in earlier today.

After taking an affirmation of office, Judge Faller reflected on the significance of her appointment in front of her colleagues, friends, family and community leaders.

She said it is, quote, critical that doors are opened, opportunities created and seized, examples set and that we actively pay things forward.

She continued, I'm sitting here today because of the generosity of so many.

Victorian Bar President Fiona Ryan SC called the appointment long overdue.

We'll be back tomorrow with another Deep Dive, but until then, have a great night.
