Newshub's 'coalition cauli' has started to brown as talks drag on after the final election results were revealed on Friday.
The difference between the cauliflower from Friday and Sunday is subtle, but signs of oxidisation are becoming apparent on Newshub's 24/7 livestream of the symbolic brassica.
On Friday, the florets of the cauliflower were white and the leaves were clean and green. But on Sunday afternoon, the leaves had started to turn brown and there is a tinge of yellow in the florets. Small specks of brown can also be seen on the cruciferous vegetable's curd-like surface.
The final election results were revealed on Friday, showing National and ACT can't govern alone. Together, those two parties have just 59 seats, when they need 62 to govern. That means the two parties will need New Zealand First to govern.
The three parties will need to negotiate to come to some sort of governing arrangement. Incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has refused to give a deadline for how long those discussions could take.
