Luxon has survived, Penk is gone, and National is reeling after a week of political chaos that's threatened to reshape New Zealand's election.

Christopher Luxon's grip on his leadership is again being questioned following a week of communication gaffes and a fresh report his MPs are unhappy.

OPINION: The PM has called a caucus meeting to discuss his leadership on Wednesday.
