Paul Hogan Vs Australian Tax Office - A Current Affair interview (part 1 of 2 full ver.)

[@mrjohntheo154]

Australia owes a lot more to Paul hogan than what Paul's supposedly owed Australia. A real shame and let down by the ATO to even think he was a cheat. Paul your are the best. Australia's finest comedian and so much more.

[@treeclimbing7798]

With single handedly creating tourism in Aussie, to the tune of 3 Million aussie jobs. They should grant him a Tax-Free exemption, for life. Government has No Gratitude or honor.

[@Treeesmith]

tree Climbing government is just mind control, all puppets with somebody's hand up their ass making the mouth move

[@colinashby3775]

Smudger beautifully put. I must remember that.

[@dandantheminiman]

this is the most down to earth guy, he has been kicked in the teeth but still smiling. brilliant bloke and and makes people smile

[@michaelodds2007]

Know how he feels. Im from NZ. I started my 1st Business at 24, and worked my guts out, 15 odd yrs down the track the Tax Dept audited me, and stated I owed them huge amounts in unpaid tax. The guy they sent to get all my paperwork, records etc, was going through my bank statements asking questions, I answered, in the end he told me I was the most honest idiot he had come across, but I am retiring in 2 weeks, you need to know that. Well it went to court, I won, they did not have any of my records, and stated they had been misplaced, but tried to make me pay their assessment. The judge dropped the case in my favour. I'm sure the auditor knew I was honest and to protect me he took all my records when he retired. 2 yrs later, they took me to the supreme Court. I got one of NZ's top accountancy firms as well as a top Law firm, all paid by a wealthy family member, they had their day in court, I won again. They tried to hound me, every time they called, I told them exactly what I thought of them and where they can go, with some not so nice extended language. They've never hassled me since, Im now 67 and still in business.

[@covingtonrace1]

what a nice guy

[@MrTRONSTAR]

Long Live Paul Hogan👑🌟🌟🌟

[@martpast1]

shame on those fools. Long Live Paul Hogan👑🌟

[@LordAkira]

Ive met hoges. hes a top bloke.

[@anjou6497]

Its so sad and really too much that Hoges has to be humiliated like that. Hes donated so much money . What daft, crappy world we live in. He gave millions of movie-watchers so much hilarity. An absolute gentleman i say. High five !!

[@papabear1971]

Paul Hogan represents all that is great in Australian culture! Your a great man Hoges!! Love ya!!!

[@915buck]

always a class act!!!

[@docjames6902]

This is why where ever you are in the world you should support, volunteer time and or vote for SMALL GOVERNMENT. Graduated tax policy is unfair in it's design. If someone earns say 20-30,000, the cost of admittance to live in their country is peanuts. However, if you should have the audacity to be successful, suddenly for you the cost for the exact same privilege is millions. I've never understood this. One guy get's in for free, the other guy pays millions, simply because he has it and they can take it.

[@scammedbygov]

High Court of Australia decision handed down the following: Molikier -v- Chapman [2000] HCA "ATO is NOT a legal entity" and BroadBeach Properties Pty Ltd [2008] HCA "Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are administrators and CANNOT collect tax liability". Therefore the ATO is invalid and does not exist! Do Not Pay These Criminals! ATO is breaking FEDERAL LAW by forcing you to pay tax. Paying Tax is VOLUNTARY! Want to learn more message me

[@MB-hl1qw]

Yes I would love to learn more .the ato a ledge I owe them 27,000.What should I do?

[@AyeOkNowFuckOff]

hes a good lad and i think hes a true legend.

[@Winner52910]

I love Paul Hogan. He was an icon and role model for young guys growing up in the 1980's. I'm going to look into this case and see what can be done but the US gov't. Stay strong Hoges. If worst come to worst you could be like Willy Nelson and ask Americans to pay the ATO false bill. We are a giving Christian nation who care.

[@1wannabee1]

If you think of all the other vastly more wealthy people out there that the tax people 'should' be more concerned of? Paul here should be very low on their list! He's bang-on when he says that you 'pay' clever people to look after your financial interests! Therefore you simply dont concern yourself with that matter at all. THAT is why you pay them to do that job. At the end of the day? for what this bloke has actually done for his country! for what he has contributed to the advancement of Australia, commercially,financially? its truly unbelievable to now see how he is being repaid by his own country and they should hold their heads in shame for doing so. Tc Mick.D.

[@markjones7175]

Hey Mick why don't you get Donk to sort them out. Struth!!!!

[@Celsus1984]

Paul is always positived!

[@watlingfen]

He was a big TV star in Aus and his shows did very well in UK - why the hell didn't he stay in Australia ? The worst thing he did was become a US resident - that was asking for trouble .

[@websuspect]

The US and Austrailia and other countries have agreements if you pay taxs and than they move the money in the background and share transparently through the government. So hes right.

[@cars8569fabio]

still great man

[@DerSpiess11]

At least he still sounds the same.

[@MrDumdumduck]

Come live i the UK Hoges we love ya mate.

[@VerticalFreedom]

Outstanding Sir Paul..........gudonya

[@josephlandrut4154]

Loghning Ridge is Pails birth place and fond memories of the past

[@josephlandrut4154]

i REMEMBER WHEN PAUL FIRST APPEARED ON TV IN AUSTRALIA DURING THE THE LATE 1960 AND KNEW HE WOULD MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN SHOW BUSINESS.

[@andrewskinner8560]

Actually he says he was born in Sydney, not Lightning Ridge.

[@NorticFox]

its Paul Hogan, give him an award and wipe the debt.

[@enya2enya256]

Get a real job ATO... earn your own money instead of stealing it..!

[@callmemarcer]

just blowing the froth of a few cold ones

[@dewaldvisser2948]

Good luck Paul! they are not reposed to be on your back like this, i thing its disgusting schaimless lot

[@MnMs002]

Australia should've given him a tax forgiveness option if he'd do some stuff to make tourism improvement which i feel he could've easily promoted it...And i think he loves his Home country and would've happily obliged...

[@stackit303]

He did all that long before he move to th US permanently....All those Aussie advertisements he did in the US he did for free.....Australia owes Hoges.

[@KoparyaRUS]

The taxes in Denmark are 55% for average people :(

[@britishlaw]

I don't see how he can pay £150 million in taxes when his only big movies were Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2 and that movie with Cuba Gooding Jr, as well as those fosters lager ads

[@lehong1963]

This is how Australian Government treats it's Australian idols shame, but lets roll out the carpet to the free loading imports that arrive on our shores, shame goverment.

[@Individualism101]

@ruready2012 Not only that. Apparently "we the people" own said crappy infrastructure. Why the hell should we pay to use it?

[@bloatedman]

Paul is way better off than the real Crocodile Dundee.

[@paulquigley6473]

Stand-up guy.

[@BullyDefender]

To do that to Paul Hogan is a damn crime! What a bunch of bloody CROOKS!!!

[@welcometotheshack]

crocodile dundee 4: in dept

[@supermacs1]

should have said thats not a knife, thats a kinfe!

[@grl8862]

Hoges, you're not a true 100% dinky die Australian unless the Australian Tax Office tries to screw you over the bonnet of a Holden Kingswood. Welcome to the Club mate! In my case they fined me, and then re-worded their Tax Pack the following year just in case any one else read it.... incorrectly? 100% True story! God I love being an AUSTRALIAN !!!!!

[@centuriontaxi]

Old Paul should come to England ?....... weather is crap and food ain't much better but our Tax Office is really crap .

[@centuriontaxi]

***** Whats good then?

[@centuriontaxi]

***** Putting in it that way you are right. Mind you Italy has got some nice food though don't they ?. But you said Waitrose? Most people got to Aldi's now cuz Tesco And the rest are ripping us off.

[@wildbill6203]

Smart Arse ...

[@birdie2219]

Good onya Hoges. We are looking for a Prime Minister right now - how bout it ?? keep the bastards honest.....

[@kaiziel]

why does he hav a double chin now

[@iap-ug3oy]

What a silly question.....Do you know how old he is.........Well he is old enough to have acquired a double chin he is in his 70s.....

[@TheCapricornStrand]

This guy has some kind of hangup with his audience. He keeps saying, " you viewers were responsible for this and that when he does standup. How CONDESENDING is this forward man.
