A controversial plan to allow domestic violence victims fleeing relationships to withdraw money from their superannuation accounts has been dumped by the federal government.
The proposed policy would have allowed women to withdraw up to $10,000 from their super on compassionate grounds.
Minister for Women Marise Payne told parliament on Monday night the plan had been scrapped after concerns were raised.
"We have been considering the feedback that has been received from stakeholders including domestic and family violence experts, a number of superannuation funds, industry bodies and legal groups," she said.
"It would be difficult to square the requirements of readier access to funds through early release of super with the sorts of appropriate protections."
