An ABC national forum explored how media portrays migration in public debate. One Nation has flagged 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 exaggerated.
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 influence public views about migration.
