Shortly Aussies told to "Leave Australia" to make room

Was talking to an Australian Resident who said :

"Australia is telling its residents to GO ABROAD to MAKE ROOM for the WYD delegates? Why isn't Australia big enough?"

Or perhaps -it's the Airlines who will be providing budget fares to make people exit the country during exciting July 2009 dates.

The point of the WYD is to make Australia's Youth (Hillsong?) meet the world's Catholics, if the few Catholics go out, who will be meet? Who will tour us? The Australia' WYD Board is already people strapped as is.
