Sir Joh at the Logie Awards 1990

Don't you worry about that ..
Always good for a laugh .. the former Premier of Queensland John Bjelke Peterson being ably brought back to life in 2012 Queensland by LNP Premier Campbell Newman.
But seen here lampooned ably by comedian, the very talented Gerry Connolly in 1990.
Appearing at the Logie Awards alongside host and comedian Mark Mitchell on Friday night the 9th of March 1990 at Melbourne's Hyatt on Collins.

NZer here - I'm proud to say that *we* were generous enough to give Joh to your country....... ;) Always love helping out my Aussie mates - "don't you worry about that!"

[@gregwilliamson3001]

Your conceiving of and exporting of Joh is in itself, worth declaring war on NZ ! He was an early version of Trump, but with humour.

[@annpeerkat2020]

You nasty vindictive bustards!

[@MrBenHaynes]

OMG, how STUNNING was Jana. She is drop dead gorgeous! As a '73 model, was I too young to realise that? Have you ever seen hair styled like hers that night?. A slender goddess and so intelligent to boot!

[@gregwilliamson3001]

2 things I like in this clip. Very funny portrayal of "Sir Joh" and a very short and gracious acceptance speech from Jana. Why can't they all be like this???👍🏻

[@jamesfrench7299]

Nailed the mannerisms as well as the voice. Gerry was very talented.

[@kentallard8852]

He's not shaking with rage and accusing everyone of being a communist.

[@JWMcLay]

Gerry Connolly is still very talented just not as active on tv these days

Jana's acceptance was about as graceful as it gets... Right down to accepting the award from a fake Joh Bjelke-Peterson.

[@andrewjerome6573]

It’s so ironic that Jana accepted the award from “Sir Joh” 😄

[@harryricochet8134]

Yeah, because the producers of the program had no idea whatsoever who was going to win SMH

He was too busy running for Port Niranda senator and harassing Tony Twist.
