flag Gurmesh Singh, a Coffs Harbour macadamia nut farmer and member since 2019, has been unanimously elected leader of the NSW Nationals after Dugald Saunders stepped down for family reasons. flag In his first public comments, Singh stressed coalition unity, praised the party’s record, and called for cooperation with the NSW Liberals, who reaffirmed their commitment to net zero by 2050—distinguishing themselves from federal counterparts. flag While acknowledging the Nationals’ opposition to aggressive climate policies, Singh expressed personal support for renewable energy used in his business and criticized Labor’s regional projects for disrupting communities. flag He rejected being defined by his Sikh heritage, identifying solely as Australian. flag Internal polling shows 48% of NSW voters support maintaining the emissions target, compared to 33% opposed. flag With the next state election less than 18 months away, Premier Chris Minns dismissed the opposition’s leadership change as evidence of an ongoing identity crisis.
