HUNDREDS of people inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests in the US took to the streets in Sydney's CBD last night to protest against corruption and corporate greed.

The organisers, relying heavily on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, said their demonstration would continue with a permanent campsite to be set up outside the Reserve Bank in Martin Place until early next week.

Around 500 protestors held banners reading ``you can't eat money'' and ``we are the 99 per cent'' while others wore face masks and cloaks.

A NSW Police spokeswoman said protestors were in breach of council orders and would be charged if they did not follow police directions.

The spokeswoman said the protest had been peaceful but one man had been arrested.
