PCR test before you leave Aussie, and an antigen test when you arrive in NZ is acceptable I think.

NZ has taken the right approach, they are currently covid free and have been for most of the last 6 months, and with only 5 million people to vaccinate, they will get that done well before most other countries. Once that is completed, the 14 day quarantine requirement will end and the economy will be fully open, again, well before most other countries.

Both countries have pretty much eliminated community transmission. Coming from outside the bubble will still require a two week hotel quarantine. Besides, Australia and New Zealand already had their winter and didn't quite see same surges as in Europe/US. So they know they have it under control..

When it is deemed safe to do so.

why would they need to be injected with unknown? they handled very good and I think they can maintain it this way. Their leaders got experience.

Why would anyone inject anyone with anything unknown? That's just silly. No one is trying to inject anything unknown into anyone.
As for why the kiwi's would choose to vaccinate, I'm not sure if you knew, but there is a world-wide pandemic going on, which has forced them into lockdown, and keeping their borders particularly tight, and I'm guessing they'd rather not do that, and instead go back to normal life.
