5  Registration

  Despite anything in the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act, a non-registered association is not entitled to apply to be registered under that Act, and is not entitled to be registered under that Act, unless:
 (a) FWA, on application by the non-registered association, has declared that it is satisfied that:
 (i) if the non-registered association were registered under that Act, the non-registered association would not engage in conduct inimical to the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes by means of conciliation and arbitration; and
 (ii) the registration of the non-registered association under that Act would not prevent or seriously hinder the achievement of:
 (A) an object of the Fair Work Act; or
 (B) Parliament's intention in enacting the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act; and
 (b) the requirements of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act, and of the regulations in force under that Act, that would, apart from this section, apply in relation to an application by the non-registered association for registration under that Act have been complied with.
