Domestic Violence New South Wales CEO Delia Donovan has said:

… it's absolutely not OK in terms of creating further debt and poverty later on for women, who are already affected by the gender pay gap

One in three women have no super. Most women under the age of 45 have a super balance of less than $45,000. I ask again: why does the minister think it would be 'a terrific opportunity' to create further debt and poverty for women leaving violent relationships?
