I've been trying to recall the name of a colorful guy who was frequently in the NZ news back in the 60s or thereabouts.

 

He lived in the central Nth.Island - Dannevirke perhaps? - and was either a mayor or a politician. AFAIK he was Dutch.

 

Anyone?




Trump crowned? No faux King way!

Are you thinking of Joh Bjelke-Petersen? Joh Bjelke-Petersen - Wikipedia

 

He was born in Dannevirke and was the frequently controversial Premier of Queensland from 1968 to 1987.

 

And as for "seniors with good memories", you'd have to be positively elderly to remember anything about politicians from the sixties - you'd likely have to've been born in the 1940s, so that makes you close to or past eighty now. LOL
