Has the Pope Rejected the WYD Vestment Design?

In a weakly supported article, The Australian says that the Pope has rejected the vestment design created for use during World Youth Day in Australia. According to the article, the design was rejected because it does not contain explicitly Christian symbols. Instead, it features the Southern Cross on its front, and indigenous artwork titled "Marjorie's Bird" on the back.

Yet, the article lacks any strong supporting sources indicating that what they are reporting is actually true. I would be far more inclined to trust Jim Hanna, director of communications with WYD, whom I have personally met, who says that he is unaware of any controversy surrounding the vestment design or liturgy.
