Dr. Rattan Virk has become the first Sikh woman to secure a federal ticket from the Liberal Party in Australia.
As the federal elections could be announced anytime, political parties are actively unveiling their candidates. The Liberal Party of Australia, the main opposition party, recently selected Ratandeep Kaur Virk as their candidate.
