LEGAL AFFAIRS — SUPERANNUATION SPLITTING

384. Hon Alison Xamon to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:

I refer to my question on notice of 15 August 2017 regarding superannuation splitting, and I ask, would the Minister please elaborate on what “policy provisions and legislative amendments” are currently under consideration?

Hon Sue Ellery replied:

The Attorney General has directed that there be discussions with the Commonwealth regarding the various issues associated with the splitting of super for de facto couples. It would be inappropriate to make any further comment while these discussions are underway.
