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