Pearls & Irritations has become indispensable reading for those with a serious interest in public policy and commentary. In a time of ‘fake news’ and an Australian media dominated by a narrow range of views, Pearls and Irritations publishes critical, incisive and well-informed opinions, and is without peer in Australian media.
Geoff Raby is former Australian Ambassador to China and a senior diplomat.
