A PRIEST accused of peodophelia that had won the right to work with children has been banned again after new allegations of abuse.

It comes after The Saturday Telegraph revealed the northern NSW priest — who allegedly abused two teenage Aboriginal siblings — had recently won an appeal against a Working With Children Check (WWCC) lifetime ban.

It is understood the fresh allegations relate to the ongoing Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

They are not related to the Aboriginal siblings.

The Children’s Guardian has been forced to put a new interim bar on the 68-year-old priest.

Family and Community Services Minister Brad Hazzard last night called the development a “victory for children in NSW”.

He slammed the court decision on the weekend as “extremely concerning” and called on the Catholic Church to “reconsider the man’s involvement in pastoral activities”.
