NSW: Iemma must take responsiblity for Darcy-Searle: Brogden

The New South Wales opposition says Premier MORRIS IEMMA should take responsibility
for a West Australian paedophile being allowed to serve parole in NSW.

Two NSW corrective service officers have been suspended ahead of an investigation into
how OTTO DARCY-SEARLE was transferred from WA to serve parole on the NSW north coast.

The officers are accused of failing to pass on documents related to DARCY-SEARLE to
senior corrective services officers.

The 63-year-old paedophile plans to return to WA.

NSW Opposition Leader JOHN BROGDEN says Mr IEMMA should take responsibility for DARCY-SEARLE's
transfer, rather than pushing the blame onto the corrective services officers.

Mr BROGDEN says it's standard Labor practice to blame it on someone else when something
goes wrong.
