A man has been detained after shoving a pie in the face of Alan Joyce while the Qantas chief executive was giving a speech.
Joyce was speaking at a business breakfast in Perth when the man walked up and threw the pie.
According to the BBC, Joyce had been discussing the airline’s recent decision to operate non-stop flights from London to Perth.
He told the 500-strong audience after the incident: "I don’t know what that was about."
He then left the stage to clean his face before returning to a round of applause.
"Now, if there are any more pies can you get it over with now," he joked.
A Western Australia Police spokesman said it was currently investigating the incident and interviewing the individual concerned.
