So, the person who wrote the "Kookaburra" song (who has passed on) either didn't see the similarity or didn't want to sue. But the corporation who didn't have anything to do with making either song only sees the opportunity to make a buck sues and is trying to rip off the 80s band Men at Work.
It's probably just a coincidence, at worst it's an uncredited homage. Either way, the suit is frivolous, the judge is an asshat, and the whole damn thing is ridiculous. I hope the final settlement is for, say, a dollar. Anything more is just insulting to any artist doing any kind of work.
