Following Shorten's concession, Turnbull hailed the Australian people and their participation in democracy. "Here in Australia, we settle these deep political issues, who sits in our Parliament, who governs our country, peacefully, through democratic processes," he said.
Ultimately, the coalition will form a majority government or the country will have a hung parliament, requiring Turnbull to form an alliance with independent and minor party politicians to create a minority government.
The Prime Minister acknowledged independent politicians, including Bob Katter and Cathy McGowan, who have also given his party a commitment of support in parliament.
"All of our team are expected to work together with the whole parliament to deliver the good government and wise legislation, sound policies that will secure Australia's future," he said. "That is my commitment."
