About The Rort

The Rort is an independent Australian media watchdog. We don't download or re-host creator content. We feature, embed, link, and contextualise the work of independent journalists, commentators, and researchers who are holding power to account. We also publish our own original analysis and context pieces. No partisan alignment — the rort is the target, not a party. Built on dareakt_ — deterministic, auditable, no frameworks, built from first principles.

What We Don't Do

No downloading and re-hosting creator content. No reproducing full articles verbatim. No anonymous attacks on private individuals. No partisan alignment — the rort is the target, not a party. No advertising. Ever. This is the line.
