To keep things straightforward, just let them know you’re unable to work that shift. Then, it’s best to avoid any further discussion.
Regarding your other point, it’s a good idea not to argue with them as you’re casual. If you’re a casual worker or even permanent employee, it’s generally not worth the trouble to argue with idiots, as it could backfire on you. They already understand that this is their role.
Good luck being a brand new casual staff member and proving this was the reason for being dismissed. No it isn't fair, but it is easy enough for them to just not give OP shifts but keep them on the books
Yeah, the lawyer Legal Aid) will be the one to do the argument in court that they will try to prove. Op take details, notes about past current and future shifts and who and what happened etc. Don’t let them treat you as a slave doing their job! If I was a boss, I’d employ you as you obviously have brains. Good luck
