and conditions as are approved by the Minister by instrument in writing.

(2) If, at the expiration of a bounty period, a person has received an amount,

that bounty period, greater than the amount of bounty that became payable to
him during that bounty period, he is liable to repay to the Commonwealth the
amount of the excess.

(3) If a person receives, by way of advances on account of bounty in respect
of a particular product, an amount greater than the amount of bounty payable
to him in respect of that product, he is liable to repay to the Commonwealth
the amount of the excess.

(4) If a person receives an amount by way of advances on account of bounty
that may become payable to him and the bounty does not become payable to him,
he is liable to repay to the Commonwealth the amount so received.

(5) Where a person is liable to repay an amount to the Commonwealth under this
section, the Commonwealth may recover that amount as a debt due to the
Commonwealth by action in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(6) Where a person is liable to repay an amount to the Commonwealth under this
section, the amount may be deducted from any other amount that is payable to
the person under this Act, the Bounty (Steel Products) Act 1983
or the Bounty (High Alloy Steel Products) Act 1983 and, where an amount is so
deducted, the other amount shall, notwithstanding the deduction, be deemed to
have been paid in full to the person.
