How the main answer changed
The rental answer brought Te Pāti Māori and NZ First into the discussion and gave more separate party explanations. It still contrasted building more homes with stronger protection for existing renters.
The answer ended by asking which approach mattered most to the household. Grouping parties together can conceal differences between their actual proposals.
The extracts compare the main Gemini answer on 19 and 23 October. Each opens the original answer from its own date. Other assistants' complete answers are available above.
