Deputy Labor Leader Tanya Plibersek has defended her party's difficult decision to dump the school kids' bonus.

Ms Plibersek says she hasn't received any negative feedback since the opposition announced it won't pursue the policy if elected on July 2.

"I think most people understand that this is a very difficult decision for us to make," she told reporters while campaigning in the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro on the ACT/NSW border.
