We are seeing the left push back hard on this already, but this is to be expected.
The good news is that all 3 parties in power largely are in agreement with the majority of policies.

What's good about MMP is we can have parties work together on issues and discuss different options/viewpoints rather than just be given one.
Why yes of course - removing the cost of living increases from beneficiaries is going to be ever so helpful. No doubt it will enable them to learn exactly how to survive off nothing more than 'the smell of an oily rag'...
$38 less per week will enable them to also learn how to live in a cardboard box. These are useful life skills which while not needed by National & their govt partners, or their supporters, is invariably highly recommended by them for those 'other people'...
Beneficiaries will get more under national and adjusted for inflation.
