How the main answer changed
The whānau answer kept six parties and offered different choices depending on household costs and Te Tiriti priorities. It asked which expenses mattered most.
It also returned to a specific family-payment figure. That figure needs its own check, and the person's Māori identity does not establish a preference for any party.
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.
