Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she believed Australia was invaded by Europeans, and backed universities teaching "the truth" about the nation's history.

Ms Palaszczuk said it was a problem that "people have not explained the full details of Australian history" and "as far as she was concerned", Australia was invaded.

"For many years Australian schools and Australian institutions have not told the truth about the way in which Australia was settled," she said.

"A lot of Indigenous people lost their lives, there were massacres and the truth always must be told."
