Prime Minister Scott Morrison has put a new domestic violence policy under review after a backlash against the idea of asking women to dip into their retirement savings when seeking emergency support.
Mr Morrison acknowledged the âstrong concernsâ about the measure within days of it being announced, in a rowdy debate in Parliament over the governmentâs responses to two rape allegations.
Scott Morrison told Parliament he knew of criticism of the policy to allow domestic violence victims early access to their superannuation.
