Pearls and Irritations is required reading for all who mistrust the party line.
July 31, 2023
But it needs your financial support to survive and grow. With the mainstream media handcuffed to the firewall, our governments self-censored by ‘freedom’ of information, and the national interest ignoring the public interest, Australians need an online opinion site that’s free, accessible, informative, uninhibited, and quick to read.
JohnMenadueand his young team give us this every day, and the crowd gathered around the_Pearls and Irritations’_ soapbox now includes readers abroad as well.
It’s become required reading for all who mistrust the party line, of whichever party or none.
