Two women activists who scaled Commonwealth Bank of Australia's Sydney headquarters and unfurled a sign protesting coal financing have been brought down by police.
The two Queensland women hung the sign saying 'CommBank CAN Break Free from Coal' between two CommBank buildings after 7am on Monday. They were later brought down by NSW Police Rescue and taken away in police wagons.
About 100 protesters remain at the building in Darling Harbour and say they will deliver letters to bank CEO Ian Narev demanding the CBA support clean energy instead of coal.
The climbers, Zoe Buckley Lennox and Kelly Purnell, say they are concerned about the impact of coal projects, funded by CommBank, on the Great Barrier Reef, according to a Greenpeace spokeswoman.
