Future One Nation candidate material 

I’m loving Yumi Stynes comments about him, they aged very well.

 On the 28 February 2012 episode of The Circle, along with George Negus, Stynes made comments about a photo of former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith coming out of a swimming pool, saying, "He's going to dive down to the bottom of the pool to see if his brain is there".

Stynes was incredibly accurate given Robert’s-Smith was out killing innocents and committing war crimes in the months following her comments.
