New South Wales Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders has resigned less than three years after taking the job. His decision came one day after his 19 year old daughter Charlie appeared in a documentary about the adult industry. Coffs Harbour MP Gurmesh Singh was elected unopposed as the new leader, becoming the first Sikh leader of the NSW Nationals.
Mr Saunders told colleagues on 17 November that he was stepping down to prioritise family. The timing has prompted speculation about a link to his daughter's appearance in the documentary, which his office strongly denies.
