Congratulations to Robert Roylance on a hard-earned victory in the seat of Hammond.

This is a win for the Murraylands and a win for common sense. Robert isn’t a career politician, and that’s exactly why people have backed him. He’s a local who knows his community, hears their concerns firsthand, and isn’t afraid to speak plainly.

From running the ferry at Walker Flat to working in his family’s distillery in Mannum, Robert has lived the same life as the people he now represents. Add to that his service in the Army Reserve and his time living and working overseas, and you’ve got someone with real-world experience, not political polish.

He’s built this result on listening to locals and focusing on what matters: housing, cost of living, reliable energy, better healthcare, and stronger services for regional communities.

People are tired of being ignored, and Robert has given them a voice.

Hammond now has a representative who will stand up for the Murraylands, challenge the status quo, and fight for better outcomes for everyday Australians.

Well done, Robert.
