Pearls and Irritations comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable

Pearls and Irritations comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.

Pearls and Irritations is an immensely valuable contribution to understanding major public issues. Every morning five or six challenging articles arrive in my Inbox, delivered without charge and without sponsors. (I have written some myself). Pearls and Irritations comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable. In 2022 it had 5.3 million views. Subscriptions are free. We owe this blogsite to a great Australian, John Menadue, who has given outstanding service as a bureaucrat, ambassador and business leader. But there is a limit to volunteering. Pearls and Irritations needs financial support. Contributions are not tax deductible. I encourage you to be a regular donor by clicking here and to circulate this message through your networks.
