Don't you worry about that!

I had the extreme privilege of spending some time with Lady Flo Bjelke-Petersen earlier this week. At last, I was the proud recipient of a fine pumpkin scone. It seems Lady Flo hasn’t lost her culinary touch.

Lady Flo, approaching her 90th birthday this coming August (11th), served as a federal senator for 12 years before her retirement. She was the wife of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, the long serving former Queensland premier. Maybe Sir Joh did more for Queensland prosperity than any other person?

(After sending Joh a birthday greeting, oh, maybe ten years ago, I received a personal reply. It was signed, “Saved by the shed blood of Christ”, or something similar. It seems that Joh had a good personal understanding of Bible salvation.)

You will find here an interesting transcript of an ABC interview with Lady Flo back in 2005.
