Mannkal's Focus
Greetings!,
Mannkal was saddened to hear that Neville Kennard, the founder of Kennards Hire in Australia passed away peacefully on Sunday aged 75 after losing his fight with cancer. Neville was a champion for freedom within Australia and will be missed.
For your interest, we have included the following links to articles that discuss Neville's life and achievements. Please click here for the Vertikal.net article. Please click here for the Economics.org article.
Feel free to forward this email or any of this material onto your own contacts. To subscribe to this publication, please click here (for new subscribers only).
My regular Mannerisms this month is focused on the rise of populist programing by our government-owned ABC networks. (see below).
