An ABC national forum focused on how media portrays migration in public debate. One Nation has suggested cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce stood by the plan and played down warnings of economic harm. He said the concerns were overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him following a public outburst. Hastie verified the apology. The forum also looked at how language and labels can sway public views on migration.
