Pearls and Irritations is perfectly named: lots of immensely thoughtful, insightful and often entertaining pieces mixed up with sometimes wildly contrarian, over-the-top or just plain nutty ones. But always stimulating, provocative and necessary daily reading.

Here Here! . I recently joined John Menadue P&I and would recommend to any of my networks and friends to visit this site. Very refreshing for me to see such lot of thoughtful, independent and balanced opinion published.
It is so sad to see even our “independent” ABC has been infiltrated and influenced by the biased Murdoch gangs and the likes.
Thank you John for your initiative.
All the best.
