Firstly, you are not the first person to say a this too me. Everyone I tell questions my motivations for it. I think I like the idea of being able to make a difference from a high level. On that point, I would love to get into diplomatic politics. Meetings at the UN; that kind of stuff.

Also, i agree with the fact that politics attracts the wrong type of people. In Australia, most of our politics are former lawyers. This frustrates me slightly. Being an engineer, the chance to bring a different line of thinking into the political debate is quite exciting.

I think it does open you up to scrutiny but that just comes with being a public figure. Just need to be careful what you do.
