Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

False. Retroactive commencement of legislation means that the law will apply to events that occurred before the law was passed. This is typically stated explicitly within the legislation itself, and does not automatically commence upon publication in the Gazette. It is up to the lawmakers to specify the retroactive commencement date in the legislation.
