As always, double check the battery, just cos it's brand new don't assume it's charged.
Check the pats light on dash to make sure the immobiliser is turning off. (light should go out no flashes)
Make sure it's in Park also try neutral.
If you have the zf gearbox check the 2 bolts on the side.
Check the battery earth strap
if it still won't start remove starter and see if direct power will spin it, if it does put back in and see if it starts, a few people have done this and it's worked fine after.

Well think about that for a minute?
What happens when you are driving in the rain? The starter and it's cables are exposed to the elements so a little coolant won't cause anything to short out.
If the battery is good like the others advised. I would make and break the electrical connections because corrosion builds over time and it's always good to clean up any high current connections.
If no change then remove the starter and get it bench tested. Starters last a long time but do fail.

But is there a lockout switch somewhere or a relay/ fuse that could be preventing a complete circut to the starter?

If the gear selector is not in p or n it will not turn over, also if the alarm/immobiliser is not deactivated it will not turn over.
Also check all fuses, including main fuse in boot
Check, as best you can, all wiring to make sure the is no obvious fault there.
