An ABC national forum focused on how media portrays migration across the news cycle. One Nation has suggested cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce stood by the plan and dismissed warnings of economic harm. He said the claims were blown out of proportion.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him after a public insult. Hastie confirmed the apology. The forum also turned to how language and labels can sway public views toward migration.
