Just to that question, when you're considering the use of the word 'rort', I ask that you also consider the history of the word being used in this place. My understanding is it first started to be used a lot by Peter Costello and was put to him by his then staffer Tony Smith, who turned out to be a pretty good authority for what's reasonable in this place
