UNDERGROUND groups which have discussed violently killing politicians planned the recent protests in Melbourne. Here they speak on media's role in promoting events for free. 3AW, Channel 7 & newspapers (likely Herald Sun), are named. All promoted the events. #ThisIsNotJournalism 
The coverage by Channel 7, Nine, Herald Sun, etc has not touched on the groups' motivations - that Coronavirus is a hoax by governments to introduce a New World Order (and many other conspiracy theories). Instead, they've painted them as everyday mums and dads who've had enough.
Yesterday it was reported 3AW aired a call which included instructions on how to attend. Previously Herald Sun has promoted events with locations, times and details on numbers organisers hope to achieve.
Journalists can join these groups to get inside details about protest dates/times/locations. Comments like this one, regarding politicians, are ignored. These are not everyday mums and dads, they are right wing extremists.
UPDATE: Just now the group have posted an update confirming the success of the #FreeVictoria event in Melbourne yesterday which it attributes heavily to media coverage leading up to the event.
These groups are being pushed off Facebook and are moving to Telegram to go further beneath the radar. Telegram has many legitimate uses as a secure platform but has been called 'the app of choice for terrorists.'
