Many Yes supporters were also seen holding banners with messages such as “no pride in genocide” and “always has been, always will be.”
Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Nyunggai Warren Mundine AO and South Australian senator Kerrynne Liddle all spoke out against the idea of an Indigenous voice in Parliament at the event.
In an emotional speech, Senator Price broke down in tears as she spoke of her role as a “vessel” for Indigenous people who she said had been ignored by mainstream politics and media.
“I was a vessel for the women sitting in that room, the cousin of a young girl who was murdered, hanging from a tree,” she said, referring to her speech to the National Press Club last week.
“These are the voices the media ignores, these are the voices Labor ignores, these are the voices the Greens ignore, these are the voters the Sarcelles ignore.
“And these are the voices that the damn Voice in Parliament will ignore.”

She was greeted with loud applause as the crowd stood and applauded furiously.
The outspoken shadow minister for Indigenous affairs called the Voice referendum “the biggest greenhouse gas event our nation has ever seen”.
“We are sick to death of being told how racist and horrible we are. Our own children are being taught not to be proud to call themselves Australians in this country,” she said .
Senator Price argued a vote would “constitutionally enshrine” a victim mentality in the country and degrade the future of Indigenous Australians.
She also said racial politics from the United States, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, had begun to seep into Australia.
“It doesn’t belong here,” she said.
