Lachlan Colquhoun

He also spent six years at ABC radio, ultimately working as executive producer of a daily current affairs program for Radio National. From 1997-2000 he was the Asian business correspondent for the London Evening Standard and after returning to Australia contributed to The South China Morning Post, The Financial Times, Financial News in London, The Scotsman, Ireland’s Sunday Business Post and the Argus group in South Africa.

Jeremy Chunn
Journalist, Insto
Jeremy Chunn has worked in magazines and newspapers for 20 years, including stints at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Men’s Style, Good Weekend and various petrol station-type men’s mags (a rare sector that has launched many highly regarded writers in Australia, not necessarily including Jeremy). Over the years he has also contributed features to Rolling Stone, Australian Style, SundayLife, Cosmos and legendary US underground manifesto Maximum Rock’n’Roll. He arrived at Insto having completed a mathematics degree with finance sub-majors, a radical and somewhat random change in direction for a journalist. His first career was in advertising, as a media executive in London, Sydney and Auckland. Jeremy is halfway through a graduate diploma in quantitative finance and he spends some evenings pondering stochastic calculus. Other nights he cuts loose with his two kids over dumplings in Chinatown.
