Qantas has been a staunch supporter of marriage equality for some time, decking out a plane in rainbow regalia for Mardi Gras and Joyce personally donating $1m to the ‘Yes’ campaign.

During his address, Joyce thanked everyone who had voted yes, as well as giving a shout out to his partner Shane.

“Big thank you to everybody behind the scene particularly my partner Shane.”

“Big round of applause for the supporters here.”
