I tought pacific peoples (maybe not Melanesians but definitely Hawaiians and Maori) are descended from people that migrated from Taiwan thousands of years ago, ie they're related culturally and genetically to indigenous Taiwanese peoples, and not to for example Papuan or indigenous Australian peoples
You are right, but indigenous Australians are completely unrelated to Austronesian people (the descendants of indigenous Taiwanese who cover an area from Madagascar to Rapa Nui). Papua New Guinea is a mosaic of Papuans who arrived tens of thousands of years ago and Austronesian "Melanesians" that arrived much later and usually live along the coast.
