Looking to the future
August 4, 2024
Pearls and Irritations has long been Australia’s best public policy site and it is now even more important.
Pearls and Irritations has long been Australia’s best public policy site and it is now even more important as the regular media have replaced policy analysis with pontification and point-scoring.
P&I presents the knowledge and expertise of practitioners from the worlds of academia, diplomacy, the civil service and the media-as-it-once-was to offer insights into national policy-making.
All contributors are volunteers, writing for love – of their subjects and of their desire to further national debate.
Theirs is a contribution to the future, for the future is at the heart of P&I’s concerns: how to forge a better Australia, within our borders and beyond.

Can you help Pearls and Irritations continue to raise the bar in Australia’s media landscape?
We hope that you can help us to continue to raise the bar in the Australian media landscape with a one-off donation.
As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and readership.
How to donate: For the first time and for a short period of time we can offer tax deductibility on donations through the Australian Cultural Fund which is a fundraising platform for Australian artists. It is operated by Creative Australia and was established by the Australian Government in 2003 to encourage donations to the arts. You can make your one-off donation here.
