Australia -
ELEANOR HALL: A Catholic priest who has been the subject of an arrest warrant on paedophile charges for that last six yeas arrived back in Australia this morning.
Father Frank Klep was yesterday expelled from Samoa after it was discovered that he had made a false declaration on an immigration form.
Father Klep was the subject of five outstanding charges of sexual assault, while in Samoa conducting missionary work.
In what is shaping as a dark chapter for the reputation of the Australian Catholic church in the Pacific, the Samoan government is now considering whether or not to expel two other Salesian priests who are associates of Father Klep.
