An ABC national forum examined how media frames migration in public debate. One Nation has flagged cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce stood by 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 looked at how language and labels can shape public views toward migration.
