Hundreds preparing to descend on Melbourne CBD in protest.
Police have vowed to crack down on anti-lockdown protesters planning a Melbourne march in a "blatant breach" of COVID-19 rules.
In a statement on Thursday, Victoria Police said it was aware some people may be planning to protest in Melbourne's CBD on Sunday.
A Facebook event has called on people to march in opposition to the city's six-week shutdown and claimed to be part of a broader movement of planned protests.
Coroner Mary Hassell said, in an inquest verdict overnight, that the 40-year-old took her own life "because of an exacerbation of fluctuating ill-health and distress".
"She knew she would face the media, press, publicity — it would all come down upon her," the coroner said.
Flack's family have accused prosecutors of singling her out because of her celebrity status.
