Conservative commentator and vocal ABC critic Andrew Bolt is set to star in a new ABC series about the recognition of indigenous Australians in the constitution.

Bolt announced in a post on his blog today: "I am going to be very busy on a project for the ABC, of all things, over the next couple of weeks.

"I will drop in now and then when mood and events dictate."

Bolt, a News Corp Australia columnist, will appear in a documentary under the working title I Can Change Your Mind About Recognition, set to screen in 2017. Bolt will co-star in the documentary with NSW Deputy Labor Leader Linda Burney, who is of Wiradjuri descent.
