Malcolm Turnbull claims victory

Malcolm Turnbull claims victory after Bill Shorten concedes defeat

"This is a great day today," Mr Turnbull told a press conference in Sydney, after Labor leader Bill Shorten conceded defeat.

"We have resolved this election and have done so peacefully. It's something we should celebrate and not take for granted."

The Coalition is on track to win at least 74 seats, and is confident it can win two more, giving it enough seats to govern in its own right.
