Protestors besiege CEOs in the Sydney Opera House

A critical mass of people marched to and rallied near the Sydney Opera House to protest the Forbes Global CEO Conference on Tuesday night.

A portion of the fence surrounding the conference and excluding the public from participating was pushed down. It was reported that conference delegates were bussed out of the Opera House for the opening evening dinner elsewhere. Police have arrested at least eight protesters according to early reports and used dogs as part of 'crowd control'. Protests will continue for the rest of the conference, which finishes on Thursday.
