Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has avoided saying whether an inconclusive election result will put Australia's triple-A credit rating at risk.
Mr Turnbull instead said he expected the election count to take a few more days with a resolution by the end of next week.
"What we will do is ensure that we work constructively and effectively with all of the members of the new parliament to ensure that we deliver the stability and the leadership that Australians expect," he told reporters in Sydney on Sunday.
