NFAW has made a submission to the Commonwealth Treasury's inquiry into preventing perpetrators from accessing the superannuation death benefits of their victims.
This consultation takes place in the context of a broader audit of key Commonwealth systems to identify where they are being weaponised by perpetrators of family and domestic violence. NFAW's submission notes that several features of the superannuation system could magnify harm, while creating a discretion to redirect benefits away from perpetrators could potentially shift superannuation from a potential weapon to a potential disincentive for perpetrators.
