An ABC national forum explored how media frames migration across the news cycle. One Nation has suggested 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 claims were blown out of proportion.

Separately, MP Andrew Hastie said Joyce apologised to him following a public outburst. Hastie acknowledged the apology. The forum also considered how language and labels can influence public views on migration.
