### sec.130N Certain documents to be referred back to the Attorney-General’s Department of the Commonwealth
If, after receiving a request for service in Queensland, the registrar is of the opinion—
that the request does not comply with rule 130M ; or
that the document to which the request relates is not a foreign judicial document; or
that compliance with the request may infringe Australia’s sovereignty or security; or
that the request seeks service of a document in some other State or Territory of the Commonwealth;
the registrar must refer the request to the Attorney-General’s Department of the Commonwealth together with a statement of his or her opinion.
The Attorney-General’s Department of the Commonwealth will deal with misdirected and non-compliant requests, make arrangements for the service of extrajudicial documents and assess and decide questions concerning Australia’s sovereignty and security.
