04 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The retired renter’s answer left out The Opportunity Party and added more detail about housing accessibility and services for older people. It kept the Greens’ proposed 2% rent cap.

That rent-cap description differed from the formula in Gemini’s other renter answers. The case comparison records the added promises without treating them as guaranteed housing or services for this person.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 31 October 2026 and 2 November 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
