Illness 1, Skase 0

Well, well, well. It is not often I misjudge people but, maybe, I was wrong about Senor Christopher Skase.

Here I was thinking the former bloke, now senor, was just pulling the wool over our eyes with his "cough, I'm ... cough ... so ...cough ... sick" routine and he up and carks it on us.

Well, talk about stopping me dead. Maybe the guy wasn't joking after all about his life-threatening illness - you know, good food, good wine, sunshine, not having to work.

Maybe, just maybe, we were a bit heartless trying to get him back Down Under to face up to his financial naughtiness.

Nah! We could have looked after him in the hospital wing at Long Bay, Pentridge or even plonked him in a detention camp in South Australia.

So what happens now that Senor Skase is an ex-senor?

Well, the Government is going to pursue relatives of the former Senor Skase to try to wrest back the millions that have disappeared.

And, if you don't mind a bit of advice from an experienced hand Mr Tax Commissioner - it ain't easy chasing pixies around.
