8  Purposes of the special account
  For paragraph 78(1)(c) of the Act, the purposes of the special account, in relation to which amounts may be debited from the special account, are the following:
          (a)    provide biosecurity, inspection and certification services for:
             (i)       passengers, cargo, mail, animals, plants, and animal or plant products arriving in Australia; and
             (ii)     agricultural products and food exported from Australia;
          (b)                     to repay to an original payer amounts credited to the special account, or any of its predecessors, after any necessary payments made for the purposes mentioned in paragraph (a);
          (c)                     to carry out activities that are incidental to a purpose mentioned in paragraph (a) including, but not limited to:
             (i) the administration of the special account; and
             (ii) dealing with direct and indirect costs;
          (d)     to repay an amount where a court order, Act or other law requires or permits the repayment of an amount received; and
          (e)                     to reduce the balance of the special account (and, therefore, the available appropriation for the special account) without making a real or notional payment.
