Crocodile dundeegrounded by tax

Actor Paul Hogan, star of the Crocodile Dundee movie trilogy, has been barred from leaving Australia until he pays a disputed tax bill.

Lawyer Andrew Robinson said the 70-year-old actor, who lives in Los Angeles, arrived in Sydney last week to attend the funeral of his mother Florence Hogan.

He was served with an Australian Taxation Office order which prevents him from leaving Australia until he settles a multi-million dollar tax bill.

His Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski, and their 12-year-old son Chance, remain in Los Angeles.
