It's Wednesday the 3rd of June.

Here's what's making headlines this evening.

The newly elected leader of the Solomon Islands has pushed for closer ties with Australia during a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra today.

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.
