(a) takes effect from the date on which it is made or, if it is expressed to take effect from some other date, that other date;

(b) shall not be expressed to take effect—

(i) from a date before that sub-regulation came into operation; or

(ii) from a date that is more than 2 years before the date on which it is made; and

(ii) liability would be imposed on a person (other than the Commonwealth or an authority of the Commonwealth) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date on which it is made.
