Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has admitted he should have been clearer about Labor's superannuation policy, arguing he misheard or misunderstood the question.

Mr Shorten has also confirmed the Opposition will stick with its plan to curb tax concessions for superannuation contributions if elected, raising about $30 billion over a decade.

On the campaign trail yesterday, Mr Shorten ruled out any increase to taxation on superannuation contributions.

That prompted Prime Minister Scott Morrison to accuse Mr Shorten of misleading voters and not being across the details.
