AMP Capital chairman John Fraser has "mature" women he employs follow him at parties to vouch for his good behaviour, in case anyone should later impugn it. He thinks a job interview is useless for judging a prospective employee's real character and that the real trick is to get them drunk over dinner. He's a self-described "prick" known to refer to "the ladies" unironically. And he's more than happy to tell you all this in lengthy podcast interviews recorded without a gun to his head. The man is a reporter's dream, if hardly the ideal person to handle the onboarding process for recovering alcoholics and devout Muslims.
