Brenda ~ I don't think Sydney or Australia has ever been quite so alive as it is right now with all the warm Christian feelings these young people are generating. Smiler

Unfortunately this is a scam perpetrated by very undesirable people on very unfortunate people, I am sure the Catholic church is very concerned for all the young people involved.

If you are not a fan of WYD why do you care what they are called. Confused


From what has now been in the news I gather that it was a scam by a third party on these unfortunate travellers and they had been promised long term visas and work permits, and only discovered on arriving in NZ that this was not so. They have now disappeared into the general population and apparently will be very difficult to track down.
