Actually, that's only partly true too:

Wikipedia (paraphrased)

Quote:
Sir Johannes "Joh" Bjelke-Petersen KCMG was born on 13 January 1911 in Dannevirke in the Southern Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, and lived in Waipukurau, a small town in Hawke's Bay. Bjelke-Petersen's parents were both Danish immigrants

He was one in a million, was old Joh.


And his wife, Lady Flo, gave the world Pumkin Scones.
