Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO) is willing to hold talks with all parties on forming a government after it won Sunday's parliamentary election, its leader Herbert Kickl told national broadcaster ORF.

Speaking alongside other party leaders, Kickl said other parties should review their refusal to form a coalition with him. Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the conservative People's Party, which came second in projections, repeated that his party will not enter a government with Kickl in it.
