It definitely doesn't help that we've got a politically inept and spineless PM being run circles around by two much more experienced co-leaders with apparently unrestricted powers to implement whatever screwball legislation they dream up, particularly at the behest of their overlords in ACT's case.
The usual checks and balances that should be coming into play to ensure New Zealand retains a constructive course into the future are being pushed aside while Luxon seems more interested in staging his latest selfie post than actually doing the job we pay him to do. FIGJAM (at Air NZ) by nickname for good reason it seems.
At this stage the next potential brake that could potentially be applied will be mid 2025 when Peters and Seymour exchange the DPM role. Maybe, just maybe Winston will wake up to the power that this will bring him and use it to break the coalition and bring on a snap election. Fingers crossed on that front. New Zealand may well not recover from a full term of this CoC's economic, social and environmental vandalism for decades to come.
