Individuals are still able to consolidate their super through the ATO, MyGov or by providing rollover details to their funds, but super funds' access to SuperMatch has been stopped.

The Tax Office has suspended superannuation funds' access to consolidation feature SuperMatch following new concerns about fraud, leaving the regulator to face a grilling in front of the coronavirus inquiry.

Individuals are still able to consolidate their super through the ATO, MyGov or by providing rollover details to their funds, but super funds' access to SuperMatch has been stopped.following claims up to $100,000 had potentially been stolen from up to 150 accounts by sophisticated criminals. They had taken advantage of struggling households trying to access $10,000 after losing income due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Jones said he wanted to know whether the freezing of SuperMatch related to the fraud issues identified early in the month through the early access scheme. While some regulatory sources said the early access scheme was an "incentive" for criminals, as they may be able to get funds out earlier, others said the risk of identity theft was ongoing and the matters were unrelated.

Who owns Australia? Our biggest land baronsWho owns Australia? You’d be surprised to learn that the billion dollar barons of our farmland are a Canadian government worker super fund, a New York teacher insurance fund and an Australian pastoral giant backed by a Dutch pension fund. A shame. Only Australian citizens should be able to own Australian land. And abolish dual citizenship too. You can own all the land you like. If it's north of Gippsland it will be worthless in another decade
