The Attorney-General may cancel a warrant for transfer to Australia at any time before the Tribunal prisoner it concerns leaves the Tribunal country.

(2)

Without limiting the grounds on which the Attorney-General may cancel a transfer warrant, it must be cancelled if the Attorney-General, a State or Territory Minister or the Tribunal concerned (or, in those cases where a Tribunal prisoner or prisoner's representative's consent to transfer was required by the Attorney-General, the Tribunal prisoner or prisoner's representative) withdraws consent to the transfer.
