Team.
Five specialists at authority level 2: they draft, a person decides. Each one fetches official New Zealand pages live for your question, writes a draft, then checks the draft against those pages.
Every claim cites its page and date. A page that can’t be read is listed as unread; nothing is filled in from memory. Not legal advice. Nothing is lodged, sent or notified. Names are existing assembl agent names, awaiting a fluent-speaker review.
