Matthew Quinn is the new crew member on police launch Nemesis. He replaces Senior Constable Tommy Tavita (Jay Lavea Laga'aia) who leaves the Rats in the 2000 season.

Matthew has spent his life near the water, and it was a lifetime ambition to join the water police. It has helped him come to terms with a fatal accident a few years ago. A larrikin and a flirt, Matthew can be overconfident at times.
