13CA  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

      This Part deals with environmental emergencies in the Antarctic.
      If an environmental emergency is caused by an activity carried on by a person in the Antarctic, the operator who organised the activity must immediately notify the Minister, or an authorised officer, of the emergency.
      The operator must also ensure that prompt and effective response action is taken in relation to the emergency.
      The Minister may give the operator a direction in relation to the emergency. The operator must comply with the direction.
      If the operator does not take prompt and effective response action in relation to the emergency, a Court may in certain circumstances make a costs order against the operator.
      This Part also establishes the Antarctic Environmental Liability Special Account and deals with other miscellaneous matters.
