TOKELAU: NZ leader wants another vote & change of rules
Updated
The leader of the largest single overseas Tokelauan community wants a third referendum held on self-determination. This week's UN-sponsored referendum for the three New Zealand administered atolls failed to get the required two thirds majority required, failing by only 16 votes. A similar vote on self-determination last year also failed. The President of the Tokelauan community in the Hutt Valley in New Zealand, Henry Joseph, told Bruce Hill there should be another vote within two years. He says next time the rules should be changed so a simple majority can win.
Presenter: Bruce Hill
Speakers: Henry Joseph, President of the Tokelauan community in the Hutt Valley in New Zealand
