CSG protesters Stake out Meeting

Dozens of anti-coal seam gas environmentalists are protesting outside a Sydney hotel where Eastern Star Gas shareholders are voting on a takeover bid by exploration company Santos.

About 40 demonstrators, some dressed in mouse and koala costumes in support of the threatened animals, are chanting and carrying placards in front of the Shangri-la Hotel in the CBD on Friday morning.

Wilderness Society spokeswoman Belinda Fairbrother said the group is calling on Santos to abandon plans to drill for coal seam gas (CSG) in the NSW Pilliga state forest
