Looks like Knox council is thinking of pulling the plug on 3/4yo kinder and are looking to privatise all of the council run Kinders.

Running costs are too high even with the subsidy... (Apparently)

These things always end up costing money despite the projections, but where are the going to be held now and at what would appear to be a fairly late stage?

Not worth his salary but will continue to take it and most likely get a raise next year

Sad that this becoming more common in regional areas and along with less bulk billing making it harder for people to access early gp care.

It's just all over the place, every little thing has some logo plastered over it or, worse, commentators reading it out like it's content. They really need to restrict it or at least change it so only small businesses can advertise. I'd much rather see Burpengary Lawn Mowing or whatever than yet another megacorp ad

I used to be pretty happy with their online services but last year they failed to lodge my taxes even though I had them ready and paid months ahead of the due date. Very disappointing.

I'm currently unemployed and I can't do the taxes myself. Too hard to understand all the jargon and what goes where. I had a few short jobs here and there, supplemented with some freelance work, so I'm not the typical one-payslip-employee case.

Before HR Block I used to go to an accountant but I'm estimating today that's going to cost me around $400 the least. I'm living off savings until I find work so I'd rather avoid this.

So I'm reaching out to you, aussie lemmings, in case you have any good alternatives. Thanks

She'll be right.

At least Guardian Australia is saying get lost to them. Now if only we could get them off youtube and all other internet content.

We need a better way to hotlink against reddit videos,

This was in 2017. Imagine how smart they are now!

Any guides to federation with lemmy? I came across a few but they weren't very good.

Or is it just a @fosstodon thing that when I look up a group it never shows any messages, e.g. @australia

>Three of the ten managers reported no loss of productivity despite a 20% reduction in hours – so effectively staff were about 20% more productive.

>The other seven reported productivity being even higher than before.

Pick this one, because if you join the other one...

there's a hole in your lemmy, dear user dear user

Antarctic ice shelves provide buttressing support to the ice sheet, stabilising the flow of grounded ice and its contribution to global sea levels. Over the past 50 years, satellite observations have shown ice shelves collapse, thin, and retreat; however, there are few measurements of the Antarctic-wide change in ice shelf area. Here, we use MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data to measure the change in ice shelf calving front position and area on 34 ice shelves in Antarctica from 2009 to 2019. Over the last decade, a reduction in the area on the Antarctic Peninsula (6693 km2) and West Antarctica (5563 km2) has been outweighed by area growth in East Antarctica (3532 km2) and the large Ross and Ronne–Filchner ice shelves (14 028 km2). The largest retreat was observed on the Larsen C Ice Shelf, where 5917 km2 of ice was lost during an individual calving event in 2017, and the largest area increase was observed on Ronne Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, where a gradual advance over the past decade (535 km2 yr−1) led to a 5889 km2 area gain from 2009 to 2019. Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km2 since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating the importance of using time-variable calving flux observations to measure change.
