A member of the Liberal Party, Australia's major right-wing political party, Goiran is a conservative Christian. He is pro-life, and opposes same-sex marriage, euthanasia and surrogacy. He has been outspoken on the issue of elder abuse, and he supports COVID-19 vaccinations but opposes vaccine mandates.

Goiran, alongside fellow MLC Peter Collier, is a Liberal Party powerbroker. After the March 2021 election, ABC News said that it was unrealistic to achieve preselection in the Perth metropolitan area for the Liberal Party without the support of Goiran or Collier. In August 2021, it was revealed that Goiran was part of a WhatsApp group called "The Clan", whose purpose it was to discuss branch stacking and the preselection of candidates. Following the reveal of that group, Goiran has faced calls for his resignation or to be expelled from the Liberal Party.
