04 · What they were told

How the assistants handled this voter's main question

A dated retirement-age claim becomes a general stability statement.

5 October: National was described as raising eligibility to 67 from 2044, alongside six-party comparisons of age and payments.

12 October: The answer does not repeat the 2044 date, says current generations retain stable settings, and adds Te Pāti Māori’s earlier-access position.

The wording is less specific about National’s future age settings, while the party field broadens. A disappearing date is not proof that a proposal was withdrawn.

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.
