An ABC national forum examined how media portrays migration across the news cycle. One Nation has proposed cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce defended the plan and dismissed warnings of economic harm. He said the concerns were exaggerated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public insult. Hastie acknowledged the apology. The forum also turned to how language and labels can shape public views toward migration.
