An ABC national forum examined how media frames 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 warnings were blown out of proportion.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce said sorry to him after a public slur. Hastie verified the apology. The forum also looked at how language and labels can shape public views on migration.
