# Twenty worked swaps · two new contexts for every day

Choose a different context without changing the day's target. These are **invented teaching examples**; any implied policy, bill, court fact or legal conclusion needs the source stated. Worked guidance gives a teacher a starting response, not a claim about a live person or current rule. None repeats the two check files.

| Day | Context swap 1 and worked steer | Context swap 2 and worked steer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Community garden:** A volunteer asks visitors to use one gate and calls violation “a crime”. **Work:** identify an organisational rule; ask for valid local law before a crime claim; a safety purpose alone does not enact legislation. | **School esports room:** A club sets an equipment-return time. **Work:** club can enforce membership terms according to its process; do not call late return a criminal offence without a relevant law and facts. |
| 2 | **Public pool:** Closing time is posted only behind the counter. **Work:** clear public notice would support predictable application; ask how people using different communication formats receive it. | **Market stall:** One trader is blamed for litter solely because a bag has a similar logo. **Work:** investigate evidence and allow response before a consequence; a logo alone does not identify who left it. |
| 3 | **Bicycle storage:** A social post says a new helmet bill passed. **Work:** verify an authorised current Act and commencement, not the post; a bill title is not proof of force. | **Small business:** An online article paraphrases a court decision. **Work:** find the judgment and relevant enactment before attributing a legal rule; the article cannot establish specific customer conduct. |
| 4 | **Accessible footpath proposal:** A Queensland committee considers a model bill. **Work:** committee scrutiny is not assent or commencement; Parliament/executive/courts have different functions. | **Night market:** A fictional state minister announces a proposed offence. **Work:** an announcement is policy, not the enacted text; check the Assembly, assent and operative provision. |
| 5 | **Youth music room:** A poster reports a proposed late-closure rule as already law. **Work:** mark proposal/venue rule separately and ask for enacted source before any penalty claim. | **Bike-share bay:** A staff member applies an unpublished return rule to one user. **Work:** consider notice and consistent treatment, then distinguish operator policy from statute. |
| 6 | **Public schools:** State operation of schools is a residual-power example. **Work:** do not infer that every education-related law is state-only; ask for a particular law and head of power. | **Environmental notice:** A model state and Commonwealth rule differ. **Work:** concurrent law-making may be possible; s 109 needs valid laws and actual inconsistency, not merely different aims. |
| 7 | **Theatre doorway:** A broken pane is reported. **Work:** a report does not identify an offence, charge or court jurisdiction; start with relevant current law and facts. | **Delivery depot:** A driver cites a case name to prove another person damaged a parcel. **Work:** a legal precedent may guide interpretation; it does not witness the event. |
| 8 | **Sports shed:** A coach says a student must prove they did not take a ball. **Work:** do not import a criminal court burden into ordinary school processes; if a criminal case arose, prosecution generally proves guilt beyond reasonable doubt. | **Library sign:** An invented Act requires “clear notice” but gives no definition or offence. **Work:** ask purpose/context and access questions; never create a penalty from the teacher's guess. |
| 9 | **Museum label:** A panel calls a 1986 report “the present-day views of all Aboriginal communities.” **Work:** date the report and reject the universal attribution; seek community-approved contemporary material. | **Land-use workshop:** A facilitator says courts always enforce a single customary law. **Work:** separate many living law systems from their specific, limited legal recognition; check current law and local authority to speak. |
| 10 | **Transport kiosk:** A draft bill and a staff rule are both labelled “new criminal law.” **Work:** classify status separately; no offence or guilt follows without law and proved facts. | **Arts festival:** A curator pairs an old government source with no contemporary community partner. **Work:** say exactly what the old source supports and who must be consulted for a living perspective. |
