I had to a search on that... turns out Hemmes grandfather was a Dutch doctor. see here: http://www.smh.com.au/news/People/Turning-a-corner/2004/11/19/1100748195190.html
His father would be old enough to have been associated with the Nazi's and certainly many right wing collaborators moved here after the war- was quiet easy if you spoke English and were blond. Haico experience is that the post-war Dutch community here is very conservative.
