Decision over sex abuse extradition in final stage

A decision over whether a former Catholic brother facing hundreds of sex charges will be extradited to Australia has reached the final stage.

Bernard McGrath is wanted in Australia on 252 charges for alleged offending against boys in New South Wales.

The charges date back over 30 years.

Justice Minister Judith Collins says she'll consider submissions sent to her from McGrath before making her final decision.

She'll also receive official advise on the matter.
