Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe says the federal government has failed to protect her from violent threats after receiving a disturbing video from a neo-Nazi group.

On Thursday video of a person wearing a balaclava and claiming to be a member of the Warriors for Convict Resistance group burning an Aboriginal flag and giving a Nazi salute was sent to Senator Thorpe.

The Australian Federal Police and a number of politicians condemned the footage and actions.

Senator Thorpe spoke outside Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building, where she labelled the Voice referendum "an act of genocide against my people", before alleging the Prime Minister knew the Voice referendum would spark threats from extremists.

"This building behind us is where it all began in 1901. The racist constitution come out of this building - nothing but pain and misery for my people in this country," Senator Thorpe said.

"The referendum is an act of genocide against my people, and the Prime Minister knows exactly what he's doing. He wants the f***ing fascists to come out and get me. That's what he wants. Because his violent force that he has sent to protect me can't even protect me."

It is understood ABC's live feed of the press conference was cut after her comments regarding the PM.

Ms Thorpe said she has spent four months in "exile", unable to be in her own home "because people want to kill me out there".

A similar incident involving the same neo-Nazi group occurred in 2022.

On Thursday she said "police are part of the problem in this country".

"And I can't ring 000. I can't rely on Victoria Police after they kill my people," Senator Thorpe said.

"So where is my support? Where is my protection in this country? You want to paint me as an angry black woman? Well you are about to see an angry black woman because I am not hiding this time.

"They don't want my voice to be heard over the next nine days. They want to feel good about the referendum; the referendum to assimilate our people into their constitution."

Ms Thorpe said only two people have been arrested, despite several threats against her across two years.

"I'm not waiting two years…I've hired my own black army," she said.

"This parliament has to pay for the black army, not the army that continues to violate black women and black men in this country. I don't trust your army. I only trust my own.

"I'm not hiding for the next nine days. You're going to hear from me... and I am not scared. I'm ready to fight for exactly what I went into Parliament for - and that is my country, my people, and I won't stop. I'm not scared, so come at me."

Senator Thorpe spoke with a group of supporters holding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags and anti-fascist messaging, some who she embraced with on arrival, behind her on Thursday.

Two members of the crowd told National Indigenous Times they stayed with the Senator for her protection on Wednesday night.

NITV reported that Anthony Albanese condemned the video saying that "the sort of Nazi rhetoric and statements that are in that video have no place in discourse in Australian political life".

In response to Senator Thorpe's comments, the PM said he isn't "going to engage in debate like that".

"I haven't seen obviously, I've been at Wynnum before I was here, so I didn't see," he said.

"I don't know what it was in an interview or something by Senator Thorpe. I just say that it's appropriate that people be respectful in this debate.

"I will continue to conduct myself respectfully. I will continue to campaign for a yes vote in this referendum as I've been doing, talking with voters this morning."

Nine News also reported that Mr Albanese said he had not seen Senator Thorpe's press conference.

"I would just say that it is appropriate that people be respectful in this debate," he said.

"I will continue to conduct myself respectfully. I will continue to campaign for a Yes vote in this referendum, as I've been doing."
