How Gemini’s answer changed
The retired homeowner’s answer added ACT’s proposed NZ Super age of 67 and an NZ First citizenship condition. The Opportunity Party replaced Te Pāti Māori. It referred generally to residence requirements rather than repeating the earlier blanket 20-year claim.
The missing figure is not an explicit correction, and the newly described proposals were outside the selected residence-requirement check.
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.
