Party president Nick Tyrrell will be the Canberra Liberals’ lead Senate candidate for the next federal election.
Mr Tyrrell is a long-time Canberra resident and local business leader. Since founding GoBoat Australia on Lake Burley Griffin in 2017, he has helped shape one of Canberra’s most recognisable small business success stories.
GoBoat is an environmentally friendly tourism venture now operating across four states, with its headquarters located on the Kingston foreshore.
Mr Tyrrell lives in the Inner South with his partner and their two young children.
He has helped activate Canberra’s waterfront, create jobs, and showcase the city’s lifestyle to residents and visitors alike.
Mr Tyrrell has also been a Liberal staffer and senior adviser in government.
A party statement said Mr Tyrrell wanted to contribute to the community that backed him and he was fighting for policies that made life better for 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.
“Canberra has given me and my family so much. I want to fight for Canberrans, to make this city an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.”
The number two candidate on the 2025 election ticket, Hayune Lee, also nominated for the lead spot.
