04 · What changed

How the main answer changed

The overseas-voter answer returned to jobs, housing and trade, with a Greens employment section. It did not repeat the earlier claims about time overseas and electorate choice.

Those omissions are not corrections: the new answer supplied no replacement explanation of those voting rules.

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.
