I note that there is still no response from anyone regarding my question about false positives from Sudafed or Codral use or being over the limit of 0.02 percent alcohol (but under the legal driving limit of 0.05 percent) when going airside for the purpose of retrieving sunglasses or checking the security of a tethered aircraft (as is required by my contract of aircraft hire).
In the above circumstance, you are deemed to be performing a SSAA (by virtue of being airside and not a pax) and as such you can be randomly tested.

The CASA doc explained the situation of a student who, after a first solo, has a glass of champagne. He then heads out to the aircraft to tie it down or retrieve his navbag. A student in this situation according to the CASA doc is able to be tested. (My reading of the regs is that he also would be able to be tested filling in the MR hours!).

Can they come into a crew room not on airside & test crew at random?
Yes.
