Winston Peters and his team have left the capital, after a whirlwind of talks with Act and National.
Newstalk ZB understands New Zealand First's leader has landed in Auckland, to reflect on talks so far, and the next round.
It's understood Act and New Zealand First have laid down the law to National warning Chris Luxon a government he leads won't simply have the minor parties on the side.
Rather they will be an intricate part of any Governing arrangement agreed.
Meanwhile, there's been an early agreement an Act, National, New Zealand First Government will have a strong focus on fast-tracking infrastructure.
ZB Political Editor Jason Walls updated Heather du Plessis-Allan on the progress.
