NSW has just issued a tsunami warning, from what I can see Port Kembla has started showing some weird tidal measurements
edit - warning extends to Cape Moreton in QLD

I'm surprised that Hobart had a measurable impact, have seen barely a mention of this on TV

Not sure, I think their comms are down. There's only a couple videos posted online from when it first hit.
Sea level measurements in Hawaiii have picked it up now as well. West coast of US have put out tsunami warnings.

Peru is about 10,000 km away from Tonga...
If the reports of being heard in New Zealand are correct, that would make this eruption one of the loudest sounds in recorded history, rivalling the 1883 Krakatoa eruption. That one was heard from Perth and it took place in Indonesia.

The last one is not from tonga

Tonga has loaned from the CCP / PRC US$108 million which is due in 2024. In 2020 the Tongan requested debt relief from the PRC which was given but the debt still has to be repaid in full in 2024. To do so in time is equivalent to 24% of Tongan GDP. It would be in the defence and security interests of Australia if we were to help the Kingdom of Tonga repay their debt to the CCP / PRC. The debt trap issues has been recognised for a while. Chinese debt a concern in Tonga's post-eruption rebuild | Stuff.co.nz
