CEO Gets A Cream Pie In The Face

Qantas boss Alan Joyce gets pie shoved in his face at business breakfast

The Age
May 9 2017

Qantas boss Alan Joyce has had a pie shoved in his face while speaking at a business breakfast in Perth. 

Mr Joyce was the keynote speaker at a West Business Leadership Matters event at the Hyatt Regency on Tuesday morning when a man appeared on stage with a pie, according to the ABC.   Smiley

The man, reportedly in his 60s, then grabbed the Qantas CEO before shoving the pie in his face and casually walking off stage.   Smiley   



The West Australian business editor Ben Harvey told Gareth Parker's Mornings program the incident caught everyone by surprise.

"It was a very bizarre situation... it appeared to be a lemon meringue pie," he said on Radio 6PR.

"It seems to be he was making some sort of political statement but we don't know what that statement is.

"He (Joyce) dealt with it very very well. For a man that's cool under pressure he proved that very much today.

"He looked at everyone and very calmly said 'well, I'm not sure what that's all about, but I'm going to have to get cleaned up'.   Smiley

"He walked off stage and then returned a few minutes later to a warm applause and continued his speech."    

Mr Harvey said the the pie attacker was in his late 60s or early 70s and was now being interviewed by police in relation to the incident.

Police confirmed they had been "called to a hotel on Adelaide Terrace, East Perth in relation to an assault incident."

And that they currently had one person in custody.

"In a statement sent to The West Australian, he accused corporate Australia of being involved in social engineering.

He suggested that issues such as marriage equality should be decided by the democratic process, saying that companies should not take positions in support of social issues."

He is.

He has a long history of religious nut jobbery, and his opposition to gay marriage is just another example.

"The man behind yesterday’s extra­ordinary public assault on Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce is a senior member of at least two Perth-based religious organisations."

"Mr Overheu is also listed as the national director of the WA branch of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship Inter­national."

"His strong religious ties suggest that yesterday’s attack may have been linked to Mr Joyce’s vigorous support for marriage equality."
