Career
[edit]Then a ferry operator and distiller from Mannum, South Australia, Roylance launched his campaign for the 2026 state election in December 2025, standing for One Nation in the district of Hammond.[1] At the time, Roylance described his priorities if he were elected as the cost of living, preventing ambulance ramping[clarification needed], repealing the South Australian Voice to Parliament, and supporting education "free from indoctrination".[1] At the 2026 election, Hammond was too close to call on election night, with Roylance, Labor candidate Simone Bailey, and Liberal incumbent Adrian Pederick, all in contention.[2][3] Roylance was ultimately successful, defeating Bailey in the two-candidate-preferred tally to win the seat of Hammond.[4]
