Wife of Joh Bjelke-Petersen                          
                          
When Joh Bjelke-Petersen was knighted in 1984, Flo Bjelke-Petersen became Lady Bjelke-Petersen, and was officially known as "Senator Lady Bjelke-Petersen." She was frequently, but incorrectly, referred to as "Lady Florence" or "Lady Flo." This usage suggests she is the daughter of a peer rather than the wife of a knight. Although the name "Lady Flo" is incorrect, it is almost universally used in the media and among the general public.
