NSW:Protesters suspend anti-mining banner

Two protesters have climbed over the balcony of a hotel in Sydney that's hosting a
mining conference to unfurl a banner against coal and gas expansion in NSW.

A woman in a business suit and a man wearing a bowler hat remain suspended from the
Sofitel Wentworth Sydney hotel in Sydney's CBD, 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 against the NSW Minerals
Exploration and Investment conference.
