The JobKeeper cliff is within range and these business owners fear the dropAll Emily Turnbull wants to do is dress up as a fairy princess and operate her entertainment business, but with COVID-19 restrictions still in place, that's not possible, and now, she must manage a drop in JobKeeper. I suppose you could have found a more obscure business to focus your report on but I assume full time birthday party clowns were all busy looking for alternative jobs.
