Avoiding persistent herbicide contamination (aussie.zone)

I've been reading up on the various persistent herbicides that are out there and how they can pass through animals and composting intact and I was wondering how significant an issue this would be for those of us gardening in Australia.

For my fellow gardeners, I'd like to know whether you've encountered this issue in your gardens and what steps you take to reduce the risk of contaminated materials entering your garden?

Yer it's a bugger, it's a classic "I can make money on selling shit(manure pun) and sucks to be the buyers" attitude, happens all the time, it's how we end up with asbestos in the parks,
