It sounds like Australia isn't going to seek compensation. The French fishing ship may though.
I have nothing against tax payers paying for rescues in their own juristiction and for their own citizens, but if I was an Australian I might not want to pay for this one. Their decision though. Personally, I think the sponsors should at least give them a reward.
