The mainstream media only covers ... protests when someone does something particularly sensational, or when cops start getting rough with people.
We've had weeks and weeks of thousands of people peacefully marching in the street, and no significant media coverage. But as soon as someone connected to the movement swears at a cop or graffitis private property or whatever, you can bet the media will be all over it.

Also, speaking of Jonno, he was apparently at UQ yesterday when this went down and posted live streams of it on FB. Will share the text accompanying the second stream below, because there's a lot of detail to it.
