Ron Manners’ ideas
and adventures
Read More

In 1895 – six years before Australia’s Federation and the existence of an Australian flag – WG Manners & Co, a mining engineering business, was established in Kalgoorlie. In 1955 Ron B. Manners assumed control of the family business which eventually evolved into its current entity Mannwest Group, headed by Ron as its Executive Director.

From the 1970’s to the 1990’s Ron floated several Australian listed mining companies, his success enabling him to pursue his other interests – philosophy and freedom. On this website you will find a repository of Ron’s writing and speeches over the very many years he has been active in business and politically, seeking to advance the principles of liberty, free markets and small government.
