    I thought ACT was the most Trump-friendly of all our political parties
    in Parliament. But now we hear that Luxon was all for expressing
    outright support for TrumprCOs warmongering against Iran, and it took
    Winston Peters to be the voice of sense to pull him back from that <https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360972133/luxon-and-peters-clash-after-release-emails-nzs-iran-war-stance-report>.

    Yes, there are certainly some raised eyebrows at the idea that the
    Foreign Minister has sufficient authority (and/or chutzpah) to
    overrule the Prime Minister on such an important Government position.

    But thatrCOs coalition politics for you. If it works, it works.
