There is a clear link between Australian media's xenophobic "African gangs" campaigns, and its "non-white people cause COVID19" campaigns over the past few weeks.

How many journalists were scrambling to find out if other patients have attended gatherings related to other religions? How many doctors are openly telling journalists when patients attend Catholic family gatherings? https://twitter.com/KetanJ0/status/1276051504684769289
But note something specific - media outlets 'tagged' people who had attended protests - but with no evidence COVID19 was acquired or spread at them. They were named "BLM protesters":

This is on par with what I've described as #Racetagging - which you can read many examples of here: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aketanj0%20%23racetagging&src=typed_query&f=live

This is when crimes committed by non-white people centre ethnicity, but crimes by white people don't mention it (and often come with reputation mgmt):
Two key media tactics in creating racist hate in the community:

- React wildly if non-white people acquire COVID19, and if they didn't manufacture some links using deception. Ignore white cases.

- 'Tag' individuals with their race or anti-racist position

Try to find an article in a large media outlet that assigned it to his race or religion.
