Hogan To Appeal Release Of Private Tax Documents

2 October 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Australian actor Paul Hogan has won the right to appeal against the public release of personal legal documents as part of his ongoing tax case.

The Crocodile Dundee star is currently under investigation by the Australian Crime Commission amid allegations he sent money into tax havens abroad.

Hogan challenged a June decision to release his private documents relating to the multi-million dollar fraud case, and an attorney representing media companies Fairfax and News Limited was in court on Friday to contest the application.

The lawyer argued the publication ban should be lifted as there is great public interest in the papers.

But he couldn't convince the three judges at Sydney's High Court, who granted Hogan leave to appeal the decision in what is expected to be a one-day hearing.

Hogan has denied all allegations of fraud. »

The Australian Connection

6 September 2009 5:27 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Glenn here from Stale Popcorn here. Nathaniel is travelling somewhere that has - wait for it - bad internet connection(!!!), which is a horrifying prospect to say the least. He asked myself and some others to keep you occupied.

Nathaniel has been a wee bit lax lately in his coverage of world cinema and so I thought, while he's away, I'd do my bit and spruik it for all its worth. This is actually an early version for a piece I have been planning for my own blog to publish at years end. Sneak Peak!!!

As a member of the "international" film community (doesn't that term sound just a smidgen condescending?) there are many things to be angry about. Whether it is poor distribution tactics (The Hurt Locker is going Direct-to-dvd in Australia) or bad foreign cinema clogging up cinemas that could be reserved for local fare. I, however, have »

Hogan 'slammed for not paying film extras'

18 August 2009 7:51 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Crocodile Dundee actor Paul Hogan has reportedly caused outrage among extras in his new film by not offering them payment for their work. Residents from Australia's Tamworth and Warrnambool were reportedly happy to appear in Charlie and Boots for free until they discovered that they were entitled to be paid for their time. Extras from other locations, such as members of the Parkes Music and Drama Society, have defended Hogan, saying that they were happy to volunteer in the movie. Member Angie (more) »

Hogan Takes Tax Fight To The High Court

24 June 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan has refused to back down in his battle with Australian tax authorities - he has vowed to take his fight to keep his finances private to the country's High Court.

The Australian actor, who lives in California, has been subjected to a five-year investigation into his accounts amid accusations he channelled millions of dollars into offshore tax havens.

The Australian Crime Commission launched a probe amid claims of a "scheme or conspiracy" between Hogan and his financial adviser, Tony Stewart, to distort his residency status to avoid paying tax.

Hogan, who has denied the accusations, is now fighting the commission's bid to make his financial records public.

Last year an Australian Federal Court judge made a ruling that would have allowed the documents to be released, and Hogan's legal challenge to the decision was rejected at a hearing on Friday.

Hogan's lawyers have now vowed to take their appeal to the High Court, meaning the documents will not be released until the second appeal is concluded.

Hogan's attorney, Francois Kunc, insists the long process of taking the case to the country's highest legal authority will not "diminish" the public interest, warning the court, "Pandora's box will have been opened and no one will be able to get Pandora back in."

The Australian Crime Commission has refused to comment on whether the probe into Hogan's tax affairs is ongoing. »
