Former National health minister opposes party's jobseeker drug-testing plan

Former National health minister Dr Jonathan Coleman has publicly opposed National's plan for random drug testing of people on Jobseeker Support, the benefit for those out of work. He told RNZ's Midday Report it was 'punitive and wrong' and not relevant to getting people off benefits. He said he still supports National and getting people into work.
