Pearls and Irritations: A unique source of independent comment and analysis

Pearls and Irritations is a unique source of independent comment and analysis. Readers know that they will learn more and have a better and different understanding of important policy issues than is available from the mass media.

It is therefore gratifying that readership has grown tenfold over the last six years, with monthly ‘views’ now exceeding 400,000. I also know from personal experience that articles are read by key policy makers and advisers.

Like the ABC it would be easy to say that Pearls and Irritations gives us the information that we want, and it is free. But the truth is that nothing is free. The ABC is dependent on taxpayers, and Pearls and Irritations needs your donation.
