Nic Christensen and Tina Tek
Nic Christensen is currently completing his Masters of Journalism at the University of Technology Sydney. Since beginning his Masters’ degree he has written for a variety of publications including The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
As well as interning at The Punch he works as an associate producer for 2GB Radio and at community radio station 2SER where he is a reporter on national current affairs show “The Wire”.
Tina Tek is currently studying a Media and Law degree at Macquarie University. She has a penchant for all forms of media and loves to dabble in her writing skills during her spare time: a great candidate for an intern.
Until recently, Tina’s writing skills were mainly limited to writing essays and exams and it was only when The Punch team came along that the public could start to see her posts - though she does maintain a blog at Five Foot Nothing.

My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics

Led Zeppelin are responsible for my all-time favourite mixed metaphor: "There you sit, sit and stare, like a book on a shelf rusting." (Misty Mountain Hop) I laugh every time I hear it. Hmmm, I believe I've decided what to play on the way to work today. [read more]Gentle jabs to the ribs
