Even as an Australian I enjoy his refreshing 'lack of Political Correctness'.
As a registered nurse I believe that even if he does not get enough backing to make it to the 'final running' for the 2016 Presidential election, he would make a GREAT "General Surgeon of the United States".
He and his wife (Candy Carson) started in 1994 the "Carson Scholars Fund", which helps to raise the low educational ranking of America (ranked position 21 out of 22 countries), by giving scholarships to students in grades 4–11 for "academic excellence and humanitarian qualities". (Wiki)
(Of course he will get another request to return to Avondale if he is successful in 2016!) I would not be surprised if he does come back to Australia. After all, he had been the Senior Registrar of Neurology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Western Australia (in the mid 1980s I believe).
