Mr Kairouz gained notoriety last week with a series of videos where he accurately predicted how many cases NSW Health would announce before the official numbers were released.

Yesterday he was filmed at the protest declaring himself "the people's premier".

Today, 22 men charged with various offences relating to the protest faced court, with NSW Police saying there will be many more penalties to come.
