Overview

It was founded in 1997 by Executive Director Ron Manners.[1] Since its founding, Mannkal has sent 500 students to various conferences in Australia and overseas.[1]

Mannkal aims to "strengthen the free market system in Western Australia and Australia, by promoting ideals of voluntary co-operation, choice, personal rights, limited government and responsible resourcefulness of individuals."[3] It does this by financing and organising:

  • Events that allow individuals to exchange ideas defending free markets.
  • Seminars and student scholarships to promote the greater understanding of the concepts that underpin free societies.
  • Policy papers on relevant topics pertaining to Western Australia.
  • An alternative book store for economic and Australian history books.

It maintains the Project Western Australia with the Institute of Public Affairs.[4]

gollark: (not that I currently intend to have children)
gollark: Less good than they otherwise would be, yes, but not exactly to the point that it'll be awful in 50 years or something like that.
gollark: I don't think any of the IPCC climate change scenarios actually have stuff like poverty and wealth and whatever getting *worse* on average, though.
