Thanks Russell,
I am looking at management consultancy, having worked with govts in all three levels. My job for the last ten year was as a health policy advisor and analyst (I work in a professional association, not with govt or politicians, but seen and worked with advisors from Howard down, even managed to "shirtfront" the current PM when he was the health minister under Howard

)
Yes, three months is far too short, I am bargaining for 6-10 months, but the wife thinks I will be unemployable after 4-6 months.
Wish me luck!

Bo
