Ley hoses down govt super tension claims

Cabinet minister Sussan Ley is hosing down reports of a heated clash between former prime minister Tony Abbott and Treasurer Scott Morrison over superannuation changes.

Mr Abbott confronted Mr Morrison about the measures in a private meeting of coalition MPs last week, arguing the government is wrong to offer super concessions to low-income earners, The Australian reports.

But Ms Ley denies there's disquiet within the government over the policy, telling reporters in Melbourne on Sunday it was in a "good place" and insisting MPs understood the measures had been taken to an election.
