How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Opportunity and Te Pāti Māori replace the separate NZ First discussion
Both answers separate help entering ownership from treatment of existing investors and keep the low-deposit-versus-market-cooling distinction. Edition 4 folds National and ACT together, adds Opportunity’s asserted land-tax mechanism and Te Pāti Māori, and drops the earlier separate NZ First shared-equity discussion. A new predicted house-price effect is presented as party modelling, not demonstrated causation. The party roster shifts despite an unchanged question.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 16 October 2026 and 19 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
