Convicted sex offender Bernard Kevin McGrath, a former Catholic brother, plans to fight his extradition to Australia.

The 65-year-old appeared in the Christchurch District Court today.

He is wanted across the Tasman on 252 historic sex charges, but his lawyer said today the extradition application will be opposed.

McGrath was jailed in 2006 for offending against boys at Marylands School in Christchurch. He also spent time behind bars in the 1990s for similar offending.
