Australia’s policy is that those who pollute our marine environment should be responsible for cleaning up and repairing the damage they have caused. If AMSA has to do this because they do not, then they should pay AMSA.

If you suspect misconduct, fraud, or corruption involving AMSA officials, contractors or service providers, you should report it.
