An ABC national forum explored how media portrays migration in public debate. One Nation has proposed cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce backed the plan and rejected warnings of economic harm. He said the warnings were blown out of proportion.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him following a public outburst. Hastie acknowledged the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can shape public views on migration.
