When Perlita Golding moved to Australia from the Philippines, the single mother began working at a Brisbane laundromat. She had limited English and needed enough shifts to support her family. Her boss, Ian Sippel, took advantage of Perlita's vulnerable position. But when Perlita took her case to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission, she discovered victims of sexual harassment in the sunshine state receive minimal compensation compared to other jurisdictions. It was an injustice Perlita refused to accept.

Nobody wants to go to court, but sometimes ordinary people are forced into extraordinary circumstances. When you’re injured at work and your boss says it’s your fault. When you’re in agonising pain and nobody believes you. When someone you trust takes advantage of you. It's time to make a stand. Faced with injustice, the people you’ll meet in this podcast refused to be silenced. These are the real-life stories behind some of the biggest court battles in the history of one of Australia’s largest personal injury law firms.

Restitution is a podcast by Shine Lawyers inspired by the book The Right Side of Wrong by firm co-founder Stephen Roche. For more than 45 years, Shine Lawyers has been standing up for the little guy. But it’s the courage of our clients that allows us to right wrong.

Restitution

Nobody wants to go to court, but sometimes ordinary people are forced into extraordinary circumstances. When you’re injured at work and your boss says it’s your fault. When you’re in agonising pain and nobody believes you. When someone you trust takes advantage of you at a vulnerable age. It’s time to take a stand. Faced with injustice, the people you’ll meet in this podcast refused to be silenced. These are the real-life stories behind some of the biggest court battles in the history of one of Australia’s largest personal injury law firms. Restitution is produced by Deadset Studios and inspired by the book The Right Side of Wrong by Shine Lawyers co-founder Stephen Roche.
