Doing the right thing. Do The Right Thing. Australia has witnessed a recycling revolution over the last 20 years.
Australians have set an example to the rest of the world when it comes to recycling and reducing litter. We are now one of the world’s leading recyclers with a very low litter rate per capita. This is because Aussies see recycling and reducing litter as Doing the Right Thing. The results have been amazing. Since 2005 we have reduced litter by 31% in volume and 20% by item, and increased recycling rates by more than 60% since 2003.
This has been achieved through: Industry collaboration to reduce the materials used in product packaging and increasing the amount that can be recycledThe introduction of effective kerbside collection to most homesAustralians now inherently collect, separate and recycle their used drinks bottles, cans and containers: it’s second nature. Australia is now on the way to becoming a sustainable low litter nation and it’s down to your contribution and action that this has become a possibility.

Limited in relation to the affairs of Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory Company Holdings Limited (see TP13/63), the Panel was strongly of the view that unacceptable circumstances had occurred in relation to the announcements of 15 November 2013 and 25 November 2013 by both Saputo Dairy Australia Pty Ltd and Warrnambool. On 15 November 2013, Warrnambool announced that it intended to declare special dividends (with associated franking credits) with a record date of 26 November, subject to Saputo’s bid reaching certain thresholds.1 Saputo announced on the same day that, subject to certain thresholds being reached, accepting shareholders would be able to receive part of their consideration in the form of franked dividends, and that some shareholders would benefit from the associated franking credits.
The undertakings include: Annexure A Dated 16 December 2013. Saputo family. In 1950, master cheese-maker Giuseppe Saputo and Frank, his eldest son, left their small village of Montelepre, close to Palermo, Sicily, and emigrated to Canada, convinced that this was the ideal country to provide a better future for their family in the wake of the Second World War.
Two years later, Lino Saputo, his brother Luigi and sisters Rosalia, Elina, Maria and Antonina, joined their father and brother in Canada along with their mother, Maria. As was the case with many immigrants, the Saputo family’s first few years in Canada were difficult. Everyone had to do their part to put food on the table. Murray Goulburn. Simplot Australia.
