ACT has managed to secure itself some big positions, policies and public service cuts in the coalition negotiations.
It didn't get its wish for a referendum on the Treaty of Waitangi - instead the law could change without putting it to the people.
It was a big day not just for David Seymour, but all the sniffle sufferers too.
"Pseudoephedrine-based medication available again next winter for those who have suffered so badly," said Seymour.
The wonder drug for colds among ACT's coalition bounty.
"I believe we have made positive and substantial contribution to this Government's agenda," he said.
Starting with the baubles - which just this week Seymour promised he never wanted.
In Cabinet, as well as getting half a term as Deputy PM, Seymour is the brand-new Minister for Regulation and will be in charge of overseeing charter schools and changes to Pharmac.
ACT deputy Brooke van Velden is the new Internal Affairs and the Workplace Relations Minister.
Nicole McKee is the Minister of Courts and will be responsible for firearms as associate Justice Minister.
Outside Cabinet there's former Fed Farmer Andrew Hoggard with a number of associate responsibilities. Karen Chhour will be the Minister for Children and for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence.
It won a rewriting of the Arms Act and a review of the gun register, charter schools, a return of 90-day trials for workers, making it easier for landlords to evict tenants, introducing "pet bonds" to make it easier for tenants to have pets, introducing a Bill to get a four-year parliamentary term and deeper cuts to the public sector.
ACT has also secured harsher penalties for beneficiaries, like electronic sanctions.
Gone are Three Waters, Auckland Light Rail, Let's Get Wellington Moving, Income Insurance and the Lake Onslow pumped hydro project. Co-governance in public service is scrapped.
Instead of a referendum on the Treaty, which Luxon consistently ruled out, they're doing it without taking it to the people by introducing a Treaty Principles Bill.
"The reality is what Mr Seymour's asked for, he's got," said Winston Peters.
Asked if it was undemocratic to push the Treaty Principles Bill and not take it to a referendum, Christopher Luxon said: "Our view is we have said our Government will support the passing of that Bill through first reading into select committee and that's the extent of our commitment at this stage."
They haven't even been sworn in yet, but behind the scenes the minor parties are already jostling over who is dismantling the Treaty's influence more, with New Zealand First also securing promises to amend the scope of the Waitangi Tribunal and review legislation which includes references to the principles of the Treaty.
Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer described it as: "A Government that's intending to whitewash Aotearoa and wipe out indigenous peoples."
Labour leader Chris Hipkins said: "This is certainly going backwards by three or four decades. It's turning progress back on Māori issues by a long shot, including progress under National."
"Whether you're Māori, non-Māori, young or old, you expect us to work hard," Luxon said.
And what hard work it will be, going near the Treaty without the debate turning toxic.
