An ABC national forum examined how media frames migration across the news cycle. One Nation has proposed cutting migration by 750,000 places over three years. Senator Barnaby Joyce backed the plan and dismissed warnings of economic harm. He said the warnings were overstated.
Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce offered an apology to him after a public slur. Hastie confirmed the apology. The forum also looked at how language and labels can shape public views toward migration.
