Budget confirms end to domestic violence early release
The Government has used the Budget to confirm it will not be proceeding with its proposed move to extend early release superannuation to victims of family and domestic violence.
The Budget papers revealed that the decision to not proceed with the measure meant an estimated decrease in receipts of $110 million over the forward estimates and a decrease in payments by $27 million because Australian Taxation Office funding to implement the measure was no longer required.
“Overall, this measure is estimated to decrease the underlying cash balance by $83.0 million over the forward estimates period,” it said
