The Tokelau islands is a dependent_territory of New Zealand. The NZ administrator during the covid years was Ross Adern (Jacinda Adern’s father), a former police officer who was known for been rather heavy handed.
The Tokelau islands are three remote Pacific islands which don’t have an airport. It is a 24hr boat trip from Samoa to get there.
Below is a link to an interview with Mahelino Patelesio, who along with his family were under house arrest for over 13 month’s for not getting vaccinated.
The interview can be hard to listen to, as Mahelino sounds reluctant to talk about his experiences -thats understandable, given what they have been through, because when you talk about it, you are reliving it.
His wife was suffering with mental illness before the house arrest was ‘ended’ because of a threat of legal action on their behalf. Even then, the island council tried to shame them in public.

Update – They have just started a lockdown because of a ‘community case’

I’ve noticed that islands have tended to have stricter restrictions than areas on continents (except China). In the USA, it seemed Hawaii had more restrictions than any other state.

Tokelau had a very heavy handed administrator (who has since left) thru the covid years. Fear and peer pressure have kept the hysteria going even to this day.

What a shame. All that suppression can leave people not knowing what to believe.
