Convicted paedophile cleared to run family‑friendly Sydney apartment blocks

The NSW government has authorised a convicted paedophile to manage nearly a dozen apartment buildings across Sydney, including those popular with young families. This move has sparked outrage among community members and advocates for child safety, who argue that it is irresponsible and potentially harmful to allow someone with a history of paedophilia to be in a position of authority over families with children. The buildings in question are located in desirable suburbs and are known to attract young families, who may be unaware of the person managing their complex. The decision has been met with criticism from the community, highlighting the need for greater scrutiny and accountability in the management of residential properties, particularly those with a high concentration of families with children.
