In response to Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Civilised but strong and direct

It is really difficult to summarise in a few words the outstanding contribution of John to public life in Australia. Not the least of those achievements has been the creation of Pearls and Irritations as the most respected Geo-political journal in Australia. For someone who has learned so much from P&I over the years I say thank you John, and look forward to many more years of your thoughtful and penetrating insights into this area of vital interest to the future of humanity.
