134E Notice of cancellation
          (1) If:
                (a) the Minister decides under section 134B to cancel a visa; and
                (b) the Minister decides under subsection 134C(3) not to revoke
                    the cancellation;
              then the Minister must give the former holder of the visa written
              notice of the cancellation.
          (2) The notice must be given:
               (a) if the assessment made by ASIO for the purposes of
                   section 134C contains an advice that it is essential to the
                   security of the nation that a notice is not given to the person
                   under this section—as soon as reasonably practicable after
                   ASIO advises the Minister, in writing, that it is no longer
                   essential to the security of the nation for the notice not to be
                   given; and









                 (b) otherwise—as soon as reasonably practicable after the
                     Minister decides under subsection 134C(3) not to revoke the
                     cancellation.
          (3) The notice must:
               (a) state that the visa was cancelled under section 134B; and
               (b) be given to the person in the prescribed way.
          (4) Failure to give the notice does not affect the validity of either:
               (a) the decision under section 134B to cancel the visa; or
               (b) the decision under subsection 134C(3) not to revoke the
                    cancellation.
