57 Certain information must be given to applicant
          (1) In this section, relevant information means information (other than
              non-disclosable information) that the Minister considers:
                (a) would be the reason, or part of the reason for refusing to
                    grant a visa; and
                (b) is specifically about the applicant or another person and is
                    not just about a class of persons of which the applicant or
                    other person is a member; and
                (c) was not given by the applicant for the purpose of the
                    application.
          (2) The Minister must:
               (a) give particulars of the relevant information to the applicant in
                   the way that the Minister considers appropriate in the
                   circumstances; and








                 (b) ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, that the applicant
                     understands why it is relevant to consideration of the
                     application; and
                 (c) invite the applicant to comment on it.
