In an age when the mainstream media scene is monotone and superficial, Pearls and Irritations covers important stories that would otherwise be ignored, and offers a refreshing diversity of opinion. It needs your support to survive and grow.
Regular contributors provide insights in public policy areas including the economy, defence and foreign relations, religion and the arts.
They are not afraid to take issue with slipshod or biased reporting.
Anyone who would like to hold our government to account, and all who fear that, unless we read the signs aright, we will sleepwalk into natural or manmade disaster, should subscribe to this journal.
Its growing readership is testament to its value.
