Seven undecided seats are likely to determine the outcome of the 2016 federal election. The Coalition appears to have won 72 seats to date, and Treasurer Scott Morrison is "very confident" that it will secure the 76 lower house seats required to form a majority government. However, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will hold meetings with several crossbenchers as a contingency plan in the event that the Coalition falls short of this target. Counting of votes is continuing, but the Australian Labor Party currently has 50.2 per cent of the popular vote on a two-party preferred basis.
