That's not a tax bill! THIS is a tax bill! Looks like we might be treated with my more Croc movie so he can get out of the red! Looking forward to it!

That is quiet a tax-bill if true.

Barred from leaving Australia? Bloody hell, talk about cruel and unusual punishment!

Last I looked a citizen of a country that claims to be democratic has the right to enter and leave that country. (Non-democratic countries often have the word "People's" or "Democratic" in their official names, so they don't really count as democracies; PRC, DPRK, DRC, etc.) But commonwealth countries? And by a tax authority, no less? Shame on you Oz!
If the bill is in dispute, then go to court and sort it out like gentlemen.

Does seem a bit hypocritical to detain a guy coming for his mother's funeral after an election campaign where one main party vowed to NOT put extra taxes on mining companies and the other offed their leader so they they could tax them less.
Guess Hogan doesn't have the same friends and pull in high places as some others do.

It used to be that way for everyone back when they were sent there on ships from London... haha.
Seriously, though. Pretty sad. Crocodile Dundee (the first one) will always be a classic.

Im sure his first wife knows a lot about it. Demonstrate that.
