Mr Turnbull called it a "stunning victory" before introducing a jubilant Mr Joyce to the packed room of yellow-clad supporters, affectionately dubbed Killed Canaries by Mr Joyce.

Mr Joyce told reporters earlier he had been contacted by another of the rumoured agitators, Queensland MP George Christensen.
