Because they could. We have fewer legislated freedoms than the US. Also both were the perfect test and study areas. No land borders with any other country. Could both be perfectly isolated.

Thanks. For sure, New Zealand and Australia were fiercely, intensely targeted. And it also may be that how the population is densely concentrated which makes for an easier managed targeting.
There's just over 5 million people in NZ. Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch are the main centers. Auckland now has about 1.4 million people, but the rest of the country is mildly populated. It's not as dense as it may seem. Loads of farms, small towns and beach communities. Many retired people fled the cities for their beach properties during covid. Compare the land size with say, Japan or Britain and their populations, NZ's population is small by comparison.
