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 backed the plan and dismissed warnings of economic harm. He said the warnings were overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public slur. Hastie confirmed the apology. The forum also turned to how language and labels can sway public views about migration.
