137F  FWA may make orders reflecting State representation orders
 (1) If:
 (a) the eligibility rules of an organisation of employees have been altered with the consent of the General Manager under section 158A; and
 (b) because of the alteration, members of an association of employees that is registered under a State or Territory industrial law (a State registered association) have become eligible for membership of the organisation; and
 (c) immediately before the alteration took effect, an order (a State representation order) was in force that:
 (i) was made by a State industrial authority in relation to the State registered association; and
 (ii) was an order of the same kind as, or of a similar kind to, an order that FWA could make under this Chapter in relation to an organisation;
FWA may, on application by the organisation or by a party to the State representation order, make an order in relation to the organisation that is to the same effect, or substantially the same effect, as the State representation order.
 (2) The order under subsection (1) applies to each organisation that is:
 (a) a federal counterpart of the State registered association; or
 (b) a federal counterpart of any other association of employees:
 (i) that is registered under a State or Territory industrial law; and
 (ii) to which the State representation order applied.
