An ABC national forum examined how media presents 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 concerns were exaggerated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public slur. Hastie confirmed the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can shape public views toward migration.
