This can happen from living under an oppressive government or reading accounts of the struggle against tyranny. In Western Australia, where we are still relatively free, many young (and now not so young) students have been introduced to the idea of liberty by Ron Manners and the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation. By investing in student experiences, Mannkal has opened a window, often firmly closed at university, to a different way of looking at the world. Eschewing grander projects to immortalise his name, Ron prefers to keep himself out of the limelight – recognition and plaques are unimportant. Rather, what matters most is what students do and how they employ their knowledge after returning from a Mannkal internship or conference. As of mid-2014, there have been over 600 Mannkal interns who are beginning to undertake positions of responsibility. There are big expectations for these and the next 600. All of those who have contributed to this publication are either previous Mannkal interns or colleagues from some point in Ron’s life.

  • Judicial Factors Effecting the Legality of The
    HUTT RIVER PROVINCE (PRINCIPALITY of HUTT RIVER “PHR”) JUDICIAL FACTORS EFFECTING THE LEGALITY OF SECESSION 1. The West Australian Government in November 1969 applied an unlawful imposition upon all the Wheat Farmers in Western Australia. That is, they applied quotas, (a restriction on the quantity of wheat which each farmer could sell), farmers could grow as much as they liked, but they were restricted on the amount which could be sold. But the West Australian Government did not have, at that time, any Government Legislation authorising such an imposition. It was therefore an unlawful imposition upon people who were peacefully going about their lawful business of production and sales. 2. The West Australian Government did however have a Bill before Parliament which was the proposed legislation to authorise the wheat quotas. Two clauses in that Bill were very disturbing. a) No appeals would be allowed, b) No compensation would be considered 3. The wheat quotas were intended and in general, brought out to effect a 10% reduction in growers sales when compared with the growers previous year’s figure; - i.e. if the previous year saw 2000 acres cropped and sold by a farmer, then the following year’s quota would be 1800 acres, a reduction by 10% of past sales. 4. The Casley’s had for the previous twenty years, produced and sold annually, 6000 acres of wheat. The quota they received in November, when the crops were ready to harvest, equalled 100 acres!
