It may be unfolding across the other side of the world, but the Occupy Wall Street movement has inspired similar protests in Australia.
Hundreds of people turned out to protests in city centres on Saturday, saying there are fundamental problems with Australia's democracy.
In Sydney, about 500 people set up camp in Martin Place to protest against corruption and corporate greed.
They held up banners reading "you can't eat money" and "we are the 99 per cent".
Organiser Josh Lees said the protests are inspired by the activists who have been occupying a park in New York for more than a month.
