Mr Hazzard, who is also the NSW Minister for Justice, released a statement on Thursday morning urging an urgent review of the decision to grant bail to a 59-year-old man from Tathra, who on Tuesday pleaded guilty to multiple charges involving sexual and indecent assaults on children.

“Having read some of the alleged facts I am extremely concerned about the decision to grant bail,” Mr Hazzard said.

“I have contacted the Director of Public Prosecutions and asked the DPP to urgently review the circumstances and consider lodging an appeal against the granting of bail.”
