ALP national president, Warren Mundine, who is Aboriginal, said the appointment was "a huge insult to Aborigines".
The ABC had been positive, honest and open about Aborigines but Mr Windschuttle was "very mean spirited, with no feeling about the suffering of the Aboriginal people over the last 200 years".
Prominent indigenous academic Marcia Langton described the appointment as "a slap in the face to the ABC audience", saying the Government had rewarded "a person who has conducted vicious ad hominem attacks on important historians and scholars and grossly misrepresented Australian history".
