The former Labor minister could be granted conditional release following a decision by the parole authority

Former NSW Labor minister and convicted paedophile Milton Orkopoulos is a step closer to parole.

He was immediately dumped from the Labor party and quit office, and was later convicted of dozens of offences, including rape and seven counts of sex with a child.The former MP for Swansea and former Lake Macquarie local councillor also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography after being caught in November 2006 with a 19-page document downloaded from a website called "MeninBoys".

When he was sentenced, Judge Ralph Coolahan said Orkopoulos used his position of authority and power to win the trust of his victims and introduced one to heroin, an act that he described as "a very serious offence".
