PERTH - Actor Paul Hogan says he will make Australian authorities pay for pursuing him as part of the Operation Wickenby tax investigation.

Hogan, who lives in California and is visiting Australia to promote his new movie Charlie and Boots, said Operation Wickenby had been mounted by "a rather incompetent body in the government".

The Australian Taxation office and the Australian Crime Commission have pursued Hogan, his friend and film producer John Cornell, and their financial adviser Tony Stewart during the national tax evasion investigation known as Operation Wickenby.

All three deny any wrongdoing and have not been charged with any offences.
