Doesn't sound like it to me. About the only visit of wnj to Australia that I can recall from that time period was to an AUUG conference I organised at Sydney University, and he was with Sun by then. He'd never been to Australia before, as he was delayed by a lack of an Australian visa (or a passport?). Really screwed up my speaker slots. Finally, people who subscribe to the "wnj is god" theory are a bit suspect anyway. If you wanted to put that mantle onto anyone, you could perhaps select some more worthy targets, especially ones whose PR machine is not so virulent.
