Talk:rort

Rort also appears to be used emotively by the media to suggest, rather than a fraudulent or illegal activity, an activity that is technically legal but takes advantage of a situation in a menner that was never intended in order to gain personal benefit. For example, "Last week's budget announced the changes, which would require workers on more than $60,000 a year to pay tax up front on shares or options when they were granted in an employee share scheme instead of the present arrangement, which makes tax payable when they vest. Mr Bowen said data from the tax office suggested up to $100million could be lost each year because of rorting of the current tax arrangements. " - The Australian newspaper 21 May 2009
