Tina Tek

Tina Tek is a twenty-three year old student 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.

Tina adores The Beatles and green apple liquorice. In her spare time, you’ll see her small, beady eyes glinting through a fashion store.

Abbott nailed it in his election launch when he said that for labor, this election was not about Australia, but about labor & their lust for power. They would do - and did give - anything for power. labor have sold out the people of Australia for the interests of a few simpleton ego maniac independents.… [read more]

Adam Diver says:

I have tested it and it worked for me. How it works is beyond me, but then again I have no idea how physical products such as silicon process information, does not mean this computer doesn't work.
