04 · What they were told

How the assistants handled this voter's main question

The funding mechanism receives more attention, but Opportunity drops out.

5 October: The comparison included Opportunity alongside specialist staffing, ORS expansion and school inclusion.

12 October: The comparison omits Opportunity and gives greater attention to centrally funded school workforces versus parent-directed funding, including education-account models attributed to ACT.

The family receives a sharper funding-choice framework, while the set of parties presented narrows. More explanation of a mechanism does not establish that a funded service would reach the child.

The excerpts compare Gemini’s national answers to this voter’s main question on 5 and 12 October. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
