Coalition MPs seeking changes to the government's superannuation policy will present alternative budget cuts rather than new taxes to fill the gap.
An independent review of the coalition's election campaign will also open up policies such as superannuation for comment.
Tasmanian Liberal senator Eric Abetz was the only coalition member to raise the superannuation issue at the first post-election party room meeting on Monday.
But he says the policy announced in the May budget impacted on electorates all over the country and had been the driving force behind some "usually rock solid supporters" turning against the government.
Senator Abetz says the reason the issue was not debated at great length in the party room was because questions were "truncated" to allow for a lengthy presentation by Liberal campaign director Tony Nutt.

Once the review was open for comment "there will be propositions put to the ministry for them to consider" on superannuation, he said.
But these would not include higher taxes.
"As a government what we have is an expenditure problem," the former minister told Sky News.
In the wake of Mr Turnbull's post-election ministry shake-up, Labor leader Bill Shorten is working on his own reshuffle.
However, Left faction members don't want Victorian senator Kim Carr returned to the Labor frontbench and are promoting two women instead - NSW MP Linda Burney and Tasmanian senator Carol Brown.
The Left will get 14 frontbench spots while Mr Shorten's Right faction will get 16.
The caucus will meet on Friday and Mr Shorten will announce the revamped line-up after that.
