Hi, I'm Richard.

I'm Richard Colbeck, a proud Liberal Senator for Tasmania working hard to advance our state’s interests.

I bring a wealth of experience to Parliament from over two decades in the construction industry and from active involvement in civic leadership and business associations in regional Tasmania before entering politics. I have also held various Ministerial roles throughout my career. I am passionate about our island state.

Here you will find a range of updates as I work for the benefit of our communities, Tasmania and our nation, as well as useful resources on my website. Feel free to get in touch any time!
