Episode Details

A Mount Isa cake decorator, Ishani Harney, is battling emotional and financial devastation after three acts of vandalism in just three years, each costing her thousands in repairs she can’t easily recover through the justice system. Despite starting her business to serve her community with passion, the repeated attacks have left her overwhelmed by bureaucracy, unresponsive systems, and the crushing cost of security upgrades she can’t afford. Police urge reporting to help track crime, but Harney and other small business owners say the process is too slow and too expensive. Still, she refuses to give up, believing her craft is vital to her town — even as she faces a roller door that costs nearly $9,000 and a government grant system that requires her to pay half.
