At Least It's Big, For A Prison

Paul Hogan, and his problems:
SYDNEY — "Crocodile Dundee" star Paul Hogan has been barred from leaving Australia because of a row over his tax affairs, his lawyer has said.

Tax officials served the actor, who lives in the United States, with an order stopping him from leaving after he returned for his mother's funeral last week, according to a statement reported by the AAP news agency.

...He is embroiled in a long-running dispute with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) over an alleged multi-million-dollar unpaid tax bill, AAP said.

The statement from his lawyer said the order means Hogan cannot leave Australia until the bill is settled.
