An ABC national forum examined how media portrays migration in public debate. One Nation has flagged cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce defended the plan and played down warnings of economic harm. He said the warnings were overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public insult. Hastie acknowledged the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can influence public views toward migration.
