## How the assistants handled this voter's main question

Opportunity remains named but loses its tailored housing mechanism

The earlier response connects Opportunity specifically to co-housing, papakāinga and multigenerational design. The current response keeps Opportunity but describes its general tax-and-income model instead; NZ First disappears, while Greens and Te Pāti Māori receive a separate papakāinga discussion. Party-name totals therefore miss a meaningful change in relevance for this household. None of the asserted housing outcomes is measured delivery.

Gemini: “| Explicitly proposes updating housing laws to make it easier to build and finance alternative configurations, including **co-housing, papakāinga, and multigenerational homes**.”

Gemini: “* **The Opportunity Party (TOP):** TOP champions an annual residential land value tax paired with a citizen's income, designed to discourage land banking and drive down overall land and house prices to make homes more affordable for families.”
