I like the Greens idea, the first 10K tax free for everyone, but raise the top range a little. And then there's the IRD's idea, raising gst to 18% while putting a code on the payment cards of low income people that discounts the tax take of each purchase they make. Apparently that software is already in play in some Euro countries, so easy to implement and requires minimal bureaucratic involvement.

And that super we get? Means test it. It is a benefit, just like all the others that are means tested. My affordable rental is means tested, I see no issue with putting the help where it is genuinely needed.
