69 Effect of compliance or non-compliance
          (1) Non-compliance by the Minister with Subdivision AA or AB or
              section 494D in relation to a visa application does not mean that a
              decision to grant or refuse to grant the visa is not a valid decision
              but only means that the decision might have been the wrong one
              and might be set aside if reviewed.
          (2) If the Minister deals with a visa application in a way that complies
              with Subdivision AA, AB and this Subdivision, the Minister is not
              required to take any other action in dealing with it.
