Comments:

Compromised by an immigration breach in June 2053; governing authority failed to adopt appropriate countermeasures. Conventional quarantine ineffective due to proximity of the East Australian Current (which would have carried ßehemoth beyond the restricted zone). Incendiary containment approved and conducted by CSIRA on 6/7/2053; proportion of total population relocated prior on a value-per-capita basis. Controlled burns ongoing.
