    I work in hospitality in Queenstown and rent a room. Finding a stable place to live near work is difficult for me, and I worry about losing my room during busy visitor periods.

05 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The Queenstown answer added The Opportunity Party’s housing-finance approach and an explicit Labour no-cause eviction commitment. It continued to contrast increasing housing supply with strengthening rental protections.

Our selected check found that the answer needed to establish whether this room renter was a tenant or a flatmate before describing the protection they would receive.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 26 October 2026 and 31 October 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
