Re Drug Testing
In response to this post came an email:
The Question: "Drug testing - apparently this was going to be on the cards. What's the truth on that?"
Ian Fraser's Answer: "Well, I saw that that was on the, ah, infamous blog site. All I can say is that TVNZ takes the view that the people who work here are grown-ups. And what that means is that what people do in their own time is their own affair. The only concern that we would have is behaviour that brings the company into disrepute, or behaviour that ends ups having an adverse effect on the performance, on the work of a particular member of the staff. And that's not a matter that will be solved by drug testing. That's a matter that we expect managers to manage. And I think every member of the staff here would expect the situation to be managed in that way."
Merry Christmas.

He almost seems to be condoning drug taking but do it in your own time. He probably meant that TVNZ as an employer has no business in attempting to control what people do in their own time unless it spills over into company time or gets publicity that affects public confidence in the person to to their job. A sensible enough attitude.
Great that he knows about this blog anyway!
