The extra fat fee is results of a law passed in March, under the old conservative government. It's just coming into effect now starting October 1st. It's not an act by the the newly elected government. That government barely picked its cabinet 24 hours ago. Not even Stalin could manage to create, approve and roll out to all relevant parties a new set of rules within 24 hours.
So it was a law initiated by the Conservative side and with joint support of both left and right side parties (except the ultra liberal one and the far-left Good Looking Peoples' Party).
Obviously the new government is not going to cancel a law they voted for themselves but this is a conservative-initatied law.
As for new government "gathering money where they can", due to the inclusion of a famously centric party (amusingly called "The Radical Left", not to be confused with the right wing conservative party called "Left" which was part of the previous government) we're looking at a set of financial changes likely to benefit workers - tax on work will be decreased and the far left parties had to drop their ideas of an extra "millionaire tax".
Rather than go through with some weird vague idea of making everyone work 1 hour per week with no extra pay, the government will increase the retirement age as part of financing.
