Dylan Malloch
Dylan Malloch grew up dreaming of becoming a journalist. This changed when he went to his university open day and the PR lecturers put a better spin on the merits of a degree in PR. He also has a Graduate Diploma of Divinity from Sydney’s Morling Theological College to really throw a cat among the pigeons.
Along with The Punch, he has written articles for The Spectator and ABC Online on topics ranging from politics, to pop culture to religion and ethics.
Dylan has a reasonably unhealthy fascination with federal politics and sport (particularly his beloved Raiders) and works for a PR consultancy in Sydney. You can follow him on twitter at @dylanmalloch
