The coalition would not seek an agreement with the Greens in the case of a hung parliament, Malcolm Turnbull says.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says there is "absolutely no chance" of the coalition accepting a deal with the Greens to form a minority government.

If tight opinion polls are any indication, it is possible the July 2 election could result in a hung parliament as it did in 2010.

"I can rule out any collaboration with the Greens to form a government, but I can tell you Labor won't and Labor can't," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Brisbane on Tuesday.
