How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Persistent service pressures; more explicit tests for concrete commitments
All editions retain ageing in place, workforce/pay and respite as the main pressures. Edition 3 names an advisory report and explicitly asks for guaranteed respite days and funded home-support hours, but still supplies no party-specific guaranteed entitlement. ACT appears, grouped with Opportunity, while Te Pāti Māori is absent as in Edition 2.
