One Nation and the trust crisis, part one: Why alienated voters are turning away
John Menadue

One Nation and the trust crisis, part one: Why alienated voters are turning away

In the first of a two-part series, falling trust in institutions and a growing sense of political alienation help explain One Nation’s rise, particularly in outer-suburban and regional Australia.

Kostakidis case strikes a blow for free speech
John Menadue

Kostakidis case strikes a blow for free speech

The case against Mary Kostakidis has been discontinued without any finding that she breached the Racial Discrimination Act, ending a two-year legal battle over political expression and criticism of Israel.

Private health insurance costs taxpayers $13 billion a year. What for?
John Menadue

Private health insurance costs taxpayers $13 billion a year. What for?

Taxpayers spend about $13 billion a year supporting private health insurance, yet there is little evidence it relieves pressure on public hospitals or delivers fair value.

Palestinian deaths continue and the numbers are horrifying
John Menadue

Palestinian deaths continue and the numbers are horrifying

There has long been significant undercounting of Palestinians deaths as the Genocide continues.

Albanese inherited a migration mess. It is taking too long to fix it
John Menadue

Albanese inherited a migration mess. It is taking too long to fix it

Labor inherited a migration system burdened by asylum backlogs, temporary visa pressures and administrative failure. Four years later, the clean-up remains far from complete.

Terrorism and the deliberate corruption of language and meaning
John Menadue

Terrorism and the deliberate corruption of language and meaning

The word “terrorism” is applied selectively to enemies of the US and its allies, turning a legal and moral category into propaganda that obscures state violence and normalises genocide.

Australia is wasting the skills migrants bring
John Menadue

Australia is wasting the skills migrants bring

Almost half of skilled migrants are working below their qualification level, while Australia’s complex recognition system leaves urgently needed teachers, nurses, engineers and tradespeople underused.

Racism and the response of four former Prime Ministers
John Menadue

Racism and the response of four former Prime Ministers

In an open letter in August 1998, four former prime ministers expressed their concern about the upsurge in racism at the time of the Howard Government and the coming election.

Genocide, the word Albanese and Wong will never utter
John Menadue

Genocide, the word Albanese and Wong will never utter

By refusing to name genocide in Gaza, the Labor government avoids the legal and moral obligations that would follow – but not the shame of complicity.

What is the point of power without purpose?
John Menadue

What is the point of power without purpose?

The ALP Conference this week will be carefully managed, but Labor’s deeper problem is a hollowed-out party increasingly driven by factions, polling and caution.

Who would want an ally like Israel?
John Menadue

Who would want an ally like Israel?

Looking back from 2026 to 1967 reveals the extent to which Israel will go to serve its own interests, even when this means harming its ally.

How to address a democracy in retreat
John Menadue

Reclaiming Democracy

How to address a democracy in retreat

The democratic project is about more than elections; its institutions must be revitalised on the basis of fairness, respect, openness, integrity and trust.

Labor’s conference must be about democratic renewal
John Menadue

Labor’s conference must be about democratic renewal

In the second of a two-part series ahead of the ALP National Conference, John Menadue argues Labor must apply its values to the great issues before Australia – sovereignty, human rights, democratic renewal, tax and the role of government.

Labor must remember what it stands for
John Menadue

Labor must remember what it stands for

In the first of a two-part series, John Menadue argues the upcoming ALP National Conference must do more than produce careful resolutions – it must confront Labor’s loss of values, membership and purpose.

The bamboo ceiling: Australia's business failure in Asia
John Menadue

The bamboo ceiling: Australia's business failure in Asia

Australia's parochial company boards are failing to equip themselves for Asia. This is a major barrier to developing our potential in the region and improving productivity.

Fraser, Whitlam, Albanese and national sovereignty
John Menadue

Fraser, Whitlam, Albanese and national sovereignty

Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam both warned against surrendering Australian sovereignty to US military and intelligence interests, but AUKUS and the Albanese government’s foreign policy have deepened that dependence.

Specialist fees are out of control. Medicare needs reform
John Menadue

Specialist fees are out of control. Medicare needs reform

Medical specialist fees have been rising far beyond Medicare support, leaving patients with heavy out-of-pocket costs, long public waiting lists and a health system that needs stronger public controls.

Housing policy should build homes, not wealth
John Menadue

Housing policy should build homes, not wealth

Housing policy should reflect the kind of society Australia wants to be: one that treats homes as a human right, builds neighbourhoods and social mixing, and stops privileging wealth accumulation over shelter.

The new working class needs more than gentle capitalism
John Menadue

The new working class needs more than gentle capitalism

Australia’s working class has not disappeared – it has changed, becoming more female, migrant and white collar, and social democratic parties must speak to its pressures before the populist right exploits them further.

The Albanese government and the lobbying scourge
John Menadue

The Albanese government and the lobbying scourge

Declining trust in government is helping fuel One Nation’s rise, and the failure to properly regulate lobbying has left powerful insiders in gambling, defence and fossil fuels with too much influence over public policy.

One Nation is not the worker's friend
John Menadue

One Nation is not the worker's friend

Is One Nation the worker’s friend? Or a fully owned subsidiary of Gina Rinehart, as Jim Chalmers suggested?

Our intelligence services need to break free from excessive US influence
John Menadue

Our intelligence services need to break free from excessive US influence

Australia is part of the white man's intelligence network, Five Eyes. That means too much CIA input into anti-China perceptions in recent years. It also helped bring down the Whitlam government.

The weaponisation of antisemitism by the Zionist lobby hides the genocide
John Menadue

The weaponisation of antisemitism by the Zionist lobby hides the genocide

In a personal submission to the Antisemitism Royal Commission, P&I founder John Menadue argues that it is impossible to separate increasing rates of antisemitism from the way Israel has conducted its genocide in Gaza.

US support for Israel is faltering
John Menadue

US support for Israel is faltering

The political consensus in America that sustained unconditional US support for Israel was built over decades; it will not be dismantled quickly. But the direction of change is now clear. The shift in public opinion away from supporting Israel reflects generational change. That demographic trajectory will not reverse.

Australia has waited 21 years for a Human Rights Act – what is Albanese waiting for?
John Menadue

Human Rights Act!

Australia has waited 21 years for a Human Rights Act – what is Albanese waiting for?

The president of the Australian Human Rights Commission this week renewed the call for national human rights legislation. The parliamentary committee report has been gathering dust since 2024. The Senate numbers exist. The only thing missing is political will.

Plan B: insulating ourselves from the US
John Menadue

Foreign Policy Rethink

Plan B: insulating ourselves from the US

P&I today begins a major new series - rethinking Australia's foreign policy. The United States is becoming more erratic and less reliable, and Australia must respond by insulating itself – strengthening regional ties, rethinking defence settings, and reducing strategic dependence, according to John Menadue. 

The UAE alliance Australia won’t question
John Menadue

The UAE alliance Australia won’t question

Australia’s deep military and political ties with the UAE expose it to risk while aligning with an autocratic partner.

Israel faces a grim future of endless wars unless it comes to terms with Palestinians
John Menadue

Israel faces a grim future of endless wars unless it comes to terms with Palestinians

Israeli influence has shaped US foreign policy for decades – with profound consequences for war and peace in the Middle East.

The weaponisation of antisemitism is making Jews less safe
John Menadue

The weaponisation of antisemitism is making Jews less safe

Revulsion at Israel’s actions in Gaza is driving a global rise in antisemitism, while efforts to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews are deepening the danger.

Australia’s multicultural success cannot be taken for granted
John Menadue

Australia’s multicultural success cannot be taken for granted

Australia’s multicultural project has delivered enormous social and economic benefits, but recent governments have allowed it to drift, weakening social cohesion and leadership when it needs renewed attention most.

Albanese’s politics of avoidance
John Menadue

Albanese’s politics of avoidance

From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, the government’s instinct has been to avoid political traps rather than confront hard choices – and voters are drifting away.

Three years on, where is the China war we were warned of?
John Menadue

Three years on, where is the China war we were warned of?

Three years after dire warnings that Australia must prepare for war with China, no such conflict has eventuated. Instead, the United States has continued its long pattern of military interventions.

From Whitlam to Andrew – the Palace and the politics of concealment
John Menadue

From Whitlam to Andrew – the Palace and the politics of concealment

Allegations of royal funding in Prince Andrew’s settlement revive deeper questions about the monarchy’s political conduct – from the dismissal of Gough Whitlam to claims of concealed influence and broken trust.

Authority is not leadership – and Australia keeps confusing the two
John Menadue

Authority is not leadership – and Australia keeps confusing the two

Australia’s political culture mistakes authority, comfort and continuity for leadership. Without the courage to create disequilibrium and confront hard choices, real reform remains impossible.

Terrorism – a blow back from western violence in Muslim countries
John Menadue

Terrorism – a blow back from western violence in Muslim countries

Terrorism dominates political debate and media coverage in Australia despite causing relatively few deaths. The deeper causes – western military violence, state power, and selective moral language – are rarely examined.

Scapegoating migrants is as old as history itself
John Menadue

Scapegoating migrants is as old as history itself

Scapegoating migrants is designed to distract our attention from the truth and real issues – the abuse of corporate and media power and failure to tackle housing shortages for younger generations.

Genocide is the story, not antisemitism
John Menadue

Genocide is the story, not antisemitism

The Australian government’s response to Gaza, and its handling of President Isaac Herzog’s visit, has blurred the line between antisemitism and criticism of Israel. The result is deeper division, weaker democracy and greater risk to Jewish communities.

Message from the Editor-in-Chief
John Menadue

Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Pearls and Irritations is entering a new phase, with Editor-in-Chief John Menadue stepping back from day-to-day leadership and new appointments strengthening our future.

The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog
John Menadue

The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog

Australia’s political and media response to Gaza, including the invitation to Israel’s president, reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbying and the shrinking space for lawful criticism.

Greenland and western hypocrisy over the rules-based international order
John Menadue

Greenland and western hypocrisy over the rules-based international order

Western leaders defend the rules-based international order when it suits them, but remain largely silent as those same rules are breached by the United States and Israel. The result is a system that shields the powerful and abandons the vulnerable – most starkly in Palestine.

The United States is a lawless and dangerous ally. What is Australia's Plan B?
John Menadue

The United States is a lawless and dangerous ally. What is Australia's Plan B?

Mark Carney’s Davos speech highlights a world in rupture, not transition. Australia needs to rethink its dependence on the United States and begin preparing a credible Plan B.

Best of 2025 - Working with PM Fraser - the changeover - Part 1 

John Menadue stayed on as the most senior public servant in the land, after the trauma of the Dismissal. In this 5-part series he details what life was like working with PM Fraser. Given his closeness to Whitlam, some of his conclusions are surprising.

Best of 2025

Best of 2025 - Albo, Trump and China: No one likes a loser

The first obvious takeaway is that our prime minister has been wise not to heed the Austral Americans urging him to get to Washington as soon as possible.

Best of 2025 - No justice or peace for Palestinians in Trump’s Plan
John Menadue

Best of 2025

Best of 2025 - No justice or peace for Palestinians in Trump’s Plan

The Trump Plan is designed to reframe the issues in favour of Israel. Palestinians have been betrayed again.

Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke should reject a visa application for Israeli President Herzog
John Menadue

Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke should reject a visa application for Israeli President Herzog

Australia’s visa laws allow exclusion on grounds of character and incitement of discord. Those tests raise serious questions about whether Israel’s president should be welcomed while the killing in Gaza continues.
