A Melbourne comedian and podcast host who describes himself as an anti-vaccination activist and independent Scientologist has said his decision to graffiti a memorial to murdered woman Eurydice Dixon was "an attack on feminism".



Andrew Nolch, 31, is a former Melbourne comedian who once hosted a late night comedy show on Channel 31 called The Kink. He told The Age not only was he guilty, but that he planned on getting caught.

"I was upset and I want to make this clear, this was not a personal attack at all," he said. "This was purely an attack on feminism, on mainstream media for hijacking a vaccine-causing issue and turning it into a men are bad, women's rights issue."

Nolch's social media is riddled with posts on conspiracy theories, links to far-right website InfoWars, and the discredited theory that vaccines cause autism. The Age reports he is known to friends of Dixon.

In a post on his personal account in June, Nolch described his outrage that men were "being blamed for the Princess [sic] Park tragedy" when there were "so many other more obvious reasons it happened".
