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