4 Application of laws
Every provision, rule and doctrine of the laws of the State applies according to its tenor at the site where an offshore facility is or is to be moored or fixed as if the site—
(a)
in so far as it consists of land—were part of Queensland; or
(b)
in so far as it consists of water—were within the limits of the State;
except to the extent that—
(c)
application of the provision, rule or doctrine would be inconsistent with application of a valid law of the Commonwealth that applies at the site;
(d)
the content of the provision, rule or doctrine is such that the provision, rule or doctrine cannot sensibly be applied at the site.
