Hi Geoff, Maybe not, I haven't practiced in 3 years. Not only that, I have no money, the accidents wiped me out. I would have to be sponsored. Never mind that my specialty is Traditional Chinese Medicine. Effective in clinic, but not popular enough for the big leagues. If that isn't enough, I can't speak Australian, mate :-) My best shot is to win the election. It is a part time elected position that I can easily fulfill the duties. So far I am unopposed, probably because a big controversy is looming over the city not being able to maintain police pensions without a tax hike. It will be a political bloodbath, but I am brave enough to face it. > geoff wrote: >> Sorry to hear that things are tough for you.
