How the main answer changed
The whānau answer kept its discussion of household costs and Te Tiriti but dropped the earlier payment amount and closing question about priorities. It ended by contrasting different approaches to Māori authority and universal services.
Those descriptions do not establish this voter’s party preference.
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.
