NSW:Police break up scuffle at conference=3

Two protesters have climbed over the balcony of the venue, the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney
hotel, to unfurl a banner covering most of the front of the hotel.

The banner, emblazoned with a large red stop sign, reads: "Enough is enough: Stop coal
and gas expansion".

The protesters - a woman in a business suit and a man wearing a bowler hat - remain
suspended from the hotel, as around a dozen police officers wait at street level for them
to come down.

About 50 farmers and rural community members are at the protest.
