"Lex Fullarton is a descendant of British colonists of Western Australia who arrived in the Gascoyne region in the early 1880s. He was a real estate agent/tax-practitioner/public accountant for over 20 years. He is, in fact, the proverbial ""bush lawyer"". Fullarton has previously published the books Heat, Dust, and Taxes (2015) and Watts in the Desert (2016)."
Lex Fullarton has a rare art of making taxation a racy read. Rarely is something so enjoyable and so educational at the same time. This is an important book that demonstrates the resourcefulness of both the taxpayer and the regulator. This game of cat and mouse will never stop. A must read. -- Brett Davies, Adjunct Professor at The University of Western Australia, National Taxation Partner, Legal Consolidated Barristers & Solicitors Lex is the quintessential bush lawyer. Whether you agree with him or not, you have to give it to him for his forthright style. I particularly liked his use of history to provide spice to his conclusions. -- Michael D'Ascenzo, AO Adjunct Professor, University of New South Wales; Professorial Fellow, the University of Melbourne It is not often that a book on tax challenges us with its insights. This book does that. There is much in here, not just for tax specialists but for all of us trying to get our community to discuss, debate and even to disagree with. Lex Fullarton's book opens up the avenues for a fruitful exploration of ideas about Australian society not often explored in tax. -- John Passant, former Australian Assistant Commissioner of Taxation and tax academic, Australian National University
