A month on from the general election, and the leaders of National, Act and New Zealand First have met together for the first time.
Chris Luxon, David Seymour and Winston Peters caught up face-to-face at an Auckland hotel yesterday.
Peters briefly returned last night, seemingly for further talks.
Seymour says they haven't yet dealt with major substantive discussions, in a potential coalition deal.
Political Editor, Jason Walls told Kate Hawkesby more meetings are pencilled in for this week.
He says the first meeting was preliminary to discuss timelines and they'll hopefully get into the meat and potatoes shortly.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
