01Career

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. At the time, Roylance described his priorities if he were elected as the cost of living, preventing ambulance ramping, repealing the South Australian Voice to Parliament, and supporting education "free from indoctrination". 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. Roylance was ultimately successful, defeating Bailey in the two-candidate-preferred tally to win the seat of Hammond.
