:thejoke:

also the bike itself must be taken from another illustration and just pasted on top - its casting a shadow unrelated to the plane or the bike's positioning, as if it was on the ground nevermind its just a really poorly drawn bike rack

Under the Act, it is a criminal offence, punishable by imprisonment of up to two years, for any person working directly or indirectly for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection to reveal to the media or any other person or organisation (the only exceptions being the Immigration Department and other Commonwealth agencies, police, coroners) anything that happens in detention centres like Nauru and Manus Island.

Section 24 of the Act requires that any departmental workers or contractors to the department subscribe to an oath. There is no detail about the contents of the oath, and it is possible that the oath will prevent individuals such as doctors and nurses, as well as organisations such as the Salvation Army, Red Cross, United Nations and Amnesty International, from fulfilling their ethical and professional obligations to report physical and mental harm.

I don't know the context to any of these, and I have to go to work right now.

A growing problem in the past decade or so has been the tendency of Indian tribes to disenroll members to deny them benefits (usually to consolidate casino proceeds in a particular family rather than granting them to the whole tribe). Due to Federal court rulings though, tribes have absolute sovereignty over these affairs, so individuals have no recourse if they are disenrolled. There was a This American Life segment about this issue two years ago.

In short: thanks to greed over casino money, Native Americans are now destroying themselves and their culture, rather than the white man doing the same.

Hasters is one of the local posters. Whenever Rorus posts something, it's probably a (really, really) good edit and not an actual cartoon by the cartoonist themselves. If you want to catch up on the thread you can't go wrong just reading his post history.
