Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has a few ideas on what portfolio he'll demand for an additional Nationals minister.
But in keeping with the spirit of the coalition agreement, he's keeping mum on the details.
"I will have my discussions with the prime minister and they will stay private," he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.
Mr Joyce emerged from a Nationals party room meeting with 21 other MPs and senators on Tuesday afternoon after discussing a wishlist for a revised agreement.
The Nationals are likely to pick up at least one extra frontbench position following a strong election result, based on a proportional formula in the joint party room with the Liberals.

The party is aiming to get bang for its buck out of the deal, buoyed by its extra ministerial bargaining power after gaining an additional MP.
Mr Joyce says time is in their hands on the agreement, given new Turnbull government ministers won't be sworn in until a week later.
"There is no huge rush," the Nationals leader told the party room.
"But we will go through the process of making sure we do the best we can for the party room and the best job we can for the country."
There were cheers for four new faces, Llew O'Brien (Wide Bay), David Littleproud (Maranoa), Andrew Gee (Calare) and the man who's gained the party another seat, Damian Drum (Murray).
Most Nationals expect an extra ministry spot, with junior minister Matthew Canavan's name being floated around.
There is also speculation Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion will lose his cabinet spot to make way for more ambitious colleagues.
Mr Joyce wouldn't rule anything in or out about Senator Scullion's future other than to say he was doing a good job.
Meanwhile, the party was rejecting calls from Labor leader Bill Shorten to make the terms of the agreement public.
"It's none of his business," party whip Mark Coulton said.
"It's a bit like a prenuptial agreement - before you go into a relationship you spell out what we expect from that relationship and it just solves problems later on."
