A former Catholic brother has another round in his fight against an extradition from New Zealand to Australia to face 250 historical child sex charges.
Bernard Kevin McGrath, 66, was in court earlier this month seeking a judicial review of former NZ justice minister Judith Collins’ decision to extradite him.
But on Wednesday, Justice Cameron Mander in the High Court at Christchurch found Ms Collins hadn’t made any reviewable mistakes in her decision that McGrath be surrendered to Australia and declined the review.
McGrath had argued there had been breaches of suppression orders by Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater that could have lead to bias given the friendly relationship between Mr Slater and Ms Collins.
