An ABC national forum focused on how media presents migration across the news cycle. One Nation has flagged 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 warnings were blown out of proportion.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him following a public outburst. Hastie verified the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can sway public views toward migration.
