To celebrate Qantas’ core values of equality and inclusion, the Flying Roo has released a new video capturing the beautiful diversity that makes up the Australian spirit.
The 60-second clip includes sports teams, Olympians and Paralympians, and leaders in the arts as it looks at how important diversity is to our national life.
The video which you can watch below, opens with Aussie heartthrob and Qantas Ambassador Hugh Jackman on Maroubra Beach, talking about the Australian spirit and “standing up for a fair go”.
It then moves on to show the talented Australians that Qantas has worked with for many years.
This includes Indigenous leader, Qantas Ambassador and former AFL player, Adam Goodes at a NAIDOC week celebration at Qantas head office.
There are also athletes from several Qantas sports partners, including Rugby Australia, Football Federation of Australia, Cricket Australia, Australian Olympic and Paralympic Committees.

Qantas Group Executive, Vanessa Hudson explains that Qantas carries 50 million people a year from all walks of life and employs over 30,000 people who represent a cross-section of the community.
“We don’t all think, look or act the same and that’s a huge asset. This video is about celebrating the strength that comes from diversity and why it’s one of the great things about the kind of place Australia is.”
Qantas Group Executive, Vanessa Hudson
The video will be screened during the Bledisloe match between Australia v New Zealand on 18 August on Fox Sports as well as at the stadium to an audience of up to 80,000 people.
It will also appear across social media channels for Qantas as well as several of the sporting bodies involved, and screen on board Qantas flights.
