Malcolm Turnbull has spoken with Tasmanian independent MP Andrew Wilkie, who insists he won't be doing deals with anyone to form government.
Mr Wilkie told reporters in Hobart there was "no remarkable substance" to recount from the prime minister's phone call, which he believed was more a signal of open channels of communication than anything.
"I went to this election with a position that I would not enter into any form of agreement with any party to allow them to form government and nothing has changed," he said on Sunday.
Mr Wilkie, who enjoyed a swing of some 6.4 per cent, said he was not made any offers - including the Speaker's job - when he spoke with Mr Turnbull on Sunday morning.
"It's fair enough that given the possibility of a power-sharing parliament that any prime minister would have done exactly the same - picked up the phone and just wanted to ensure he or she had open channels of communication," Mr Wilkie told reporters in Hobart.
