TOKELAU: Third vote on self-determination unlikely
Updated
It's likely to be some time before Tokelauans vote on self-determination again. That's the message from the New Zealand Administrator of the three atolls north of Samoa, in the wake of last week's referendum which saw the proposal defeated for the second time in as many years. The United Nations sponsored vote failed by 16 votes to get the required two thirds support. The Administrator of Tokelau, New Zealand diplomat David Payton, told Bruce Hill the rejection of self-determination came as quite a surprise to many people.
Presenter: Bruce Hill
