Australia should lead the creation of a formal intelligence-sharing framework — a “Pacific Eyes agreement” — initially involving Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji, the four most closely aligned countries in the region. Conceptually akin to Five Eyes but adapted for Pacific Island realities, such an arrangement would move ad hoc bilateral exchanges into a structured, multi-country mechanism for systematic and continuous intelligence collaboration.
