An advocacy group says up to a 130 homeless people have been removed from Sydney during World Youth Day celebrations. Kevin Simpson from Homeless Voice says men and women who normally sleep in the city or the Domain have been moved out by authorities. “I am a little bit surprised they haven’t taken more care of the actual people who Jesus came for and that’s the disadvantaged, marginalised broken people,” he said. Homeless Voice says people who slept on the streets were offered accommodation in motels during APEC last year, but not so during World Youth Day. (via Homeless ‘removed’ for WYD)
