An ABC national forum focused on how media presents migration in national discourse. One Nation has proposed cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce defended the plan and dismissed warnings of economic harm. He said the concerns were overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him after a public insult. Hastie verified the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can shape public views toward migration.
