A mobile phone app which promoted the brutal killings of Aboriginal people has been slammed by a Queensland senator as racist and offensive.

In the ā€œSurvivor Island 3 – Australia Story 3Dā€ app, set in a cliched digital rendition of Australia, players complete a range of tasks to stay alive, including bludgeoning Aboriginal people to collect items.

LNP Queensland Senator Joanna Lindgren has slammed the game as offensive and racist.

ā€œGames that promote the killing of any indigenous peoples are dangerous and incite discriminatory behaviours,ā€ she said on Saturday in a statement.

ā€œThese types of games are setting a dangerous precedent and should never be tolerated.ā€

Before being removed, the game was selling for $4.49 and was rated 12+ by Apple, Fairfax media reports.
