An ABC national forum explored how media portrays migration in national discourse. One Nation has proposed cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce backed the plan and rejected warnings of economic harm. He said the concerns were exaggerated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him following a public outburst. Hastie verified the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can sway public views toward migration.
