A New South Wales man who allegedly published a call for violent protest on social media will face court today.
Police allegedly spotted the social media post on Monday, December 15.
They claim it called for protesters to attend a beach in Sydney’s south later this week, in an attempt to incite violence.

Investigators arrested a 20-year-old man in Narara on the Central Coast at about 1.40pm yesterday.
He was charged with using a carriage service to make threats of violence on the grounds of race or religion.
He was refused bail and will appear in court today.
Police have also reminded anybody who saw the social media post that the suggested protest is unauthorised and not a protected public assembly, which could leave attendees open to criminal charges.
