古梅什·辛格于去年11月被提升为澳大利亚国家党反对党领导人，现正面临来自一国党日益强劲的政治威胁[1]。根据最新Resolve政治监测，一国党支持率达25%，略高于联盟党的23%[1]。在定于明年3月举行的新南威尔士州选举中，辛格承诺通过包括减少工资税等政策措施来扭转局面[1]。
作为锡克教背景的农民政治家，辛格创造了多项历史纪录[1]。他是澳大利亚议会首位锡克教当选议员，同时也是澳大利亚主要政党首位锡克教领导人[1]。在邦迪恐怖袭击后，辛格投票反对工党提出的枪支改革方案[1]。
Gumesh Singh, who assumed leadership of the National Party last November, is confronting one of the most significant threats his party has faced [1]. A Sikh farmer-politician, Singh represents a historic milestone as Australia's first Sikh parliamentarian elected to the House and the first Sikh leader of a major political party [1].
The National Party's electoral prospects have shifted considerably in recent polling, with latest Resolve Political Monitor figures showing the party at 25 percent support compared to the Coalition's 23 percent [1]. Singh has pledged to capitalize on this momentum ahead of the New South Wales state election scheduled for March next year, targeting policy measures including wage tax reductions to secure regional constituencies [1]. He voted against Labor's firearms reforms following the Bondi terror attack [1].
