Anthony Albanese recently showed support for teaching school kids about how the British massacred Indigenous people at school, ahead of  a referendum for Australians to enshrine a First Nations voice to parliament.

Australian Aboriginal leader and former Australian Labor Party national president Warren Mundine is an outspoken critic of the move, saying it is "a solution looking for a problem" and suggesting on 6PR Mornings the government focus on lifting Indigenous people out of poverty and creating economic prosperity.

Mundine told Mornings host Liam Bartlett he is finding it "very difficult these days that we are shifting into this new truth about things", giving the recent example of the AFLW decision to ban a minute's silence in respect of the Queen's passing due to Indigenous sensitivities.

"I think this whole thing about the voice is a solution looking for a problem; we've tried this four times in the past and it's failed," he told Bartlett.

"The best thing we can do now is get people educated, get people into jobs, get people to be entrepreneurs who are out there to create businesses, that can then create the jobs.

"Look at land reform where Aboriginal people could own their own house or set up a business in their own communities, which they can't do at the moment."
