19 Persons whose names appear on adoption list of another State
If the Minister is satisfied that any persons applying to have their
names included on the adoption list are persons whose names are,
or were within one month before the date of the application,
included in a similar list kept by a person, officer or authority in
accordance with the law of a State or another Territory, the Minister
may treat the application as having been received on the date on
which the application by virtue of which the names were included in
the list kept by that person, officer or authority was received, or was
treated as having been received, by that person, officer or authority.
