What are the laws in Victoria, Australia for recycling?

Question

I have heard of that 1,2,3 you can recycle me thing but somebody recently told me that the plastics coding for recycling is up to number 6! I looked it up on the internet and found no results for this latest change, and i am also wondering about what aluminiums can and can't be recycled. Please include a detailed guide and a list of sources for the recycling information.
