The Caring for our Country Report Card 2010–11 will detail the overall achievements and progress for all the funding streams that support Caring for our Country. 5 The Natural Heritage Trust provides one of the funding streams that support the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country initiative. The Caring for our Country Report Card 2009–10 will detail the overall achievements and progress for all the funding streams that support Caring for our Country. 6 The difference between the two figures is that category 8 benefits are not included in the second figure because they are not benefits for recycling used oil. Category 8 benefits are a refund of the product stewardship levy where oil is incorporated into products. 7 The definition of ‘consultant’ used by the department is the definition in the Requirements for Annual Reports published on the website of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet at www.dpmc.gov.au/guidelines/index.cfm.
