Royal Francis Butler (born 22 March 1977)[2] is an Australian politician who has been a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly since March 2019, representing the electoral district of Barwon as an independent.[3] He is a former member of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party.[4][5]
Prior to entering politics, Butler was a public servant, working as the Western Region Manager of the NSW Police. He is the senior vice president of Sporting Shooters Australia. He has a master's degree in public administration.[6][7]
On 12 December 2022, Butler resigned from the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party over disparaging comments made by the party leader, Robert Borsak, about former party member-turned-independent MP, Helen Dalton.[8]
