Part 5Administrative laws

Part 5—Administrative laws 13—Application of Commonwealth administrative laws to applied provisions (1) The Commonwealth administrative laws apply as laws of this State to any matter arising in relation to the applied provisions as if those provisions were a law of the Commonwealth and not a law of this State. (2) For the purposes of a law of this State, a matter arising in relation to the applied provisions— (a) is taken to be a matter arising in relation to laws of the Commonwealth in the same way as if those provisions were a law of the Commonwealth; and (b) is taken not to be a matter arising in relation to laws of this State. (3) Subsection (2) has effect for the purposes of a law of this State except as provided by the regulations. (4) Any provision of a Commonwealth administrative law applying because of this section that purports to confer jurisdiction on a federal court is taken not to have that effect. (5) For the purposes of this section, a reference in a provision of the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 of the Commonwealth (as that provision applies as a law of this jurisdiction) to the whole or any part of Part 7 of that Act is taken to be a reference to the whole or any part of that Part as it has effect as a law of the Commonwealth. 14—Functions and powers conferred on Commonwealth officers and authorities (1) A Commonwealth administrative law applying because of section 13 that confers on a Commonwealth officer or authority a function or power also confers on the officer or authority the same function or power in relation to a matter arising in relation to the applied provisions. (2) In performing a function or exercising a power conferred by this section, the Commonwealth officer or authority must act as nearly as practicable as the officer or authority would act in performing or exercising the same function or power under the Commonwealth administrative law.
