An ABC national forum focused on how media presents migration in national discourse. One Nation has flagged 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 overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public slur. Hastie confirmed the apology. The forum also turned to how language and labels can sway public views toward migration.
