How Gemini’s answer changed
The overseas voter’s answer led with longer National and Labour sections and added more about property tax and Labour’s proposed Office of AI. It no longer named Te Pāti Māori.
The earlier follow-up about the voter’s industry disappeared. The answer remained mainly about general employment policy rather than programmes specifically for returning New Zealanders.
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.
