Originally from the far south coast of NSW, Mr Ryzy moved to the Sunshine Coast six years ago with his wife and two children.

A successful businessman, he has owned a café for 25 years, works as an abalone diver, and is a part-owner of a mussel farm in Eden, NSW. He also holds commercial helicopter and fixed-wing pilot licences.

As the Chair of the Abalone Association of NSW and a former member of Comfish, an advisory body to the NSW Government, Mr Ryzy has been a strong advocate for Australian industries.

He believes in keeping Australian investment dollars within the country to drive local opportunities.

“Our taxation system provides incentives for superannuation contributions, yet too much of this money is being sent overseas,” Mr Ryzy said.

“Trumpet of Patriots will ensure these funds are used for venture capital, infrastructure, and industrial investments right here in Australia—creating jobs and real opportunities for Australians.”

With deep experience across multiple industries and a firm commitment to economic growth, Mr Ryzy is standing for Fairfax to put Australian interests first.
