Liberals Select Nick Tyrrell for Senate Run

Party president Nick Tyrrell will be the Canberra Liberals' lead Senate candidate for the upcoming federal election. A longtime Canberra resident and prominent local business leader, Mr Tyrrell has played a key role in the city's community and economy.

Business Leadership and Community Impact

Since founding GoBoat Australia in 2017 on Lake Burley Griffin, Mr Tyrrell has built one of Canberra's notable small business successes. GoBoat, an environmentally conscious tourism company, now operates in four states, with its headquarters on the Kingston foreshore. Mr Tyrrell lives in the Inner South with his partner and two young children.

His work has helped activate Canberra's waterfront, create jobs, and promote the city's lifestyle to both residents and visitors.

Political Experience and Goals

Mr Tyrrell has experience as a Liberal staffer and senior government adviser. A party statement highlighted his dedication to serving the community that supported him, focusing on policies that benefit local families, small businesses, and first-home buyers.

"I’m fighting for practical reform: tackling housing affordability, giving families genuine childcare choice, and ensuring the national capital gets the attention and investment it deserves," Mr Tyrrell said.
