The impending extradition from Australia of two Catholic clergymen accused of sex abuse at a Christchurch school in the 1970s is being called a minor victory for the alleged victims.

Yesterday the Australian High Court refused an appeal against the extradition of 71-year old Rodger William Moloney and 58-year old Raymond John Garchow.

The men are in custody and officials are not commenting on when they will be extradited, but it has been reported it could be as early as today.
