David Leckie, CEO of Seven Media Group, issued a formal statement to staff on the matter of Peter Meakin.
As everyone knows Peter Meakin was today convicted in Manly Local Court on drink driving and dangerous driving charges. There is an appeal pending and nothing should prejudge that.
Peter has during his time at the Network displayed enormous loyalty to the Network and achieved great things which are made clear to all by our leading position in News and public affairs programming. Loyalty is not a one way street. Kerry Stokes (whose reference was tendered in court) and I have expressed our support for Peter and we hope all members of staff will as well.
