05 · What changed

How the main answer changed

The Henderson answer kept the proposed July 2027 start for Labour’s fare cap. National’s earlier transport-security detail gave way to a broader discussion of infrastructure and reliability.

A future fare proposal does not establish a current entitlement or a better journey for this commuter.

The extracts compare the main Gemini answer on 23 and 26 October. Each opens the original answer from its own date. Other assistants' complete answers are available above.
