Mannkal's e-Focus                  December 2016

Dear <<First Name>>,

Character Beats Strategy
(Every Time)
 
Here we go again.
A strategy for this,
a strategy for that.
 
Most of our ‘thought leaders’,
spend their time,
talking through their hat.
 
What we really need,
is to focus on
courage, conviction and character.
 
This gave our Western Civilization
that special edge,
lifting millions to a new level.
 
The Enlightenment thinking,
Isaac Newton and friends,
blazed the trails.
 
Before Entitlements and Victimhood
ran us
off the rails.
 
In Canberra, this week,
I was told Canberra
is our National Capital.
 
“Wrong!”, I said.
It’s merely
our Political Capital.
 
I define Canberra as
200 square kilometers;
surrounded by reality!
 
Canberra’s where they
work hard to
destroy our Triple A Credit Rating.
 
It’s ‘out there’.
You are the people
working to save it?
 
The creators,
will rescue us,
from political seduction.
 
So, let’s drink a toast.
To the explorers, the industry
and our great producers.

Ten of our scholars preparing to depart...

We end the year off with 10 out of our 22 scholars departing Perth to begin their internships all around the globe! 

Every year we are honoured to sponsor a large number of highly impressive candidates to learn about the benefits of a free society.  Along with our internship program, in 2016, we have sponsored 131 students to attend over 6 conferences around Australia.  We are excited to announce that in 2017 we will be sponsoring students to attend the Asia Liberty Forum in Mumbai, India, and the Mont Pelerin Society conference in Seoul, South Korea. 

Our 2016 end of year scholars departing in December, we have 12 more departing in January.

Sugar Tax Leaves A Bitter Taste

By MATTHEW LESH


'Not only is taxing people for their consumption choices illiberal, asserting an excessive role for government in personal dietary choices, it also lacks evidential justification. Obesity is a complex issue. Taxation has proven to fail as a solution.'

APPLY NOW!


Applications are now open for 2017 Mid-Year and End of Year Internships. 

Our multi-step application process involves getting to know you through research reports, events, interviews and workshops. The process can take several months, beginning with your application - so the sooner you apply the better! 

Students who are not successful in receiving a scholarship in one intake may still be eligible for the next intake. The longer we have to get to know you, the better we are able to potentially match you with a suitable host think-tank.   

Head to our website for details on how to apply. 


Now is the time to apply, whether you're in first or last year at University.
