Those nutty Australians

Here's the Australianism of the month: rort. From context, I gather it means "infraction" or "incident in which a rule is broken," and can be used as a noun and a verb.

But Piggins wasn't backing down from his crusade against the rorting of the salary cap that he believes is going on in the game. He was quoted yesterday describing the salary cap as "a joke", that it "just doesn't work" and that the league had to do "a better job of policing it. It should be fairly obvious, some of the stuff that is going on," Piggins said.
