How the assistants handled this voter's main question
Adds precise retirement-age and citizenship claims
The refreshed pension answer gives specific National and ACT age-change schedules where the earlier answer was less definite, adds Te Pāti Māori, and introduces an NZ First citizenship restriction claim. It drops the earlier concrete Opportunity rates-deferral discussion, mentioning its income model instead. These additions are consequential for eligibility but are captured policy assertions, not new law or verified personal entitlement. Existing retirees’ settings and prospective changes remain distinct.
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.
