He returned to Tasmania nine months later and enrolled in an Arts/Law combined degree. Following graduation he headed off to Taiwan on a research project and then did a stint in ASIC before joining the University of Tasmania as an academic. As an academic he travelled to China and Michigan in the US developing collaborative educational programs. He was then offered a position with ASIC in Darwin on a two year contract.
