Mannkal's Focus
Greetings!,
Mannkal's busy past six months is covered in our mid year report "Mannkal's Musings". Click here to view it or print it.
Four Mannkal students accompanied me to "The Genius of Western Civilisation" conference last week in Melbourne, a joint Mannkal/Institute of Public Affairs event. My introductory comments are here.
This month my regular Mannerisms feature (below) covers the younger generation's response to being left to 'pick up the tab' for the current generation's debts.
