Clergymen extradited to NZ

A Sydney magistrate has ordered two Catholic clergymen back to New Zealand over allegations they abused their former students.

Raymond Garchow and Rodger Moloney are accused of indecently assaulting former students at Christchurch's Marylands school for boys with learning and intellectual disabilities.

The pair, aged 57 and 69 respectively, have appeared in court in Sydney where New Zealand authorities have successfully sought to have them extradited.

But a third man, 83-year-old Catholic Brother William Lebler has convinced the court to allow him to stay in Australia on health grounds.

The charges against the men date back almost 50 years.
