Three thousand years ago, a Greek potter looked at a bowl and thought: ‘You know what this needs? A leg!’ Clay bowl with leg-shaped handle!🦵😆 Early Geometric period 850 BC. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows an ancient Greek pottery bowl with a rounded, deep body, wide open mouth and flared rim. It has a large handle shaped like a human leg, extending from the left side of the bowl in my photo, bending at a right angle and ending in a flat foot. The bowl has a camel-coloured surface decorated with dark brown geometric patterns, which include zigzags and meander motifs arranged in horizontal bands around the body of the bowl and along the leg. From Attica, Early Geometric period, circa 850 BC. It sits on a light stone coloured surface in a display case at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

"There was absolutely no need to exempt commercial fishing from those two areas in the first place. So I think it's pretty interesting to see that National's now campaigning on reversing a decision it didn't actually have to make in the last term." Kayla Kingdon-Bebb. #NzPol

"When we were going through the amendment to the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act ... we ended up with a proposal for these high protection areas, and then at the 11th hour ministers of this government had a backroom meeting and decided to create carve-outs.." Chlöe Swarbrick. #NzPol

Opponents label National's fishing policy 'desperate' and a 'flip-flop'

New Zealand First says National's fishing policy is desperate and unresearched, and would have huge impacts on employment and the costs of fish.

I’m surprised (kind of) that Willis’s 200,000 jobs comment in her recent debate hasn’t had more attention from opponents or the media. Looking at her track record of 50,000 jobs lost this is a massive turnaround that is not backed up by any meaningful policy or analysis.

I mean, it is not actually funny, but good grief. When you hear Lux-out talking about the 220,000 jobs on the way, getting the economy back on track, and the return to slurplus (whatever), remember that the numbers rest on assumptions that are frankly bollox.

In the 1960s a single parent could live in a lush country estate with two meadows, one with a lion and the other with a dragon. This is what they took from us.

Is anyone officially compiling this year’s electoral billboard art in one place? 🎨 Artful “edits” used to be such a highlight of the election season - surely some good examples out there… #nzpol

Drug testing has (by design) captured all the attention, but it's nowhere near the worst bit. For more than 30 years, benefit levels have been kept lower than the cost of staying alive. On purpose. Campaigning on the back of cutting them even further is monstrous. The cruelty is the point.

It's a particularly toxic part of NZ's politics. Those who are the most staunch defenders of policies that force people into unemployment to control inflation are also those who constantly attack the unemployed.

Who are Neale's strategists? Salmond has been there way longer, for instance.
