15 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 under this Act.
(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) [Section 15 Subsection (5) amended by No. 8 of 2025, s. 35, Applied:14 Oct 2024] [Section 15 Subsection (5) amended by No. 8 of 2025, s. 35, Applied:14 Oct 2024] 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.
