Thank you for engaging! I think it is worth sending inquiries to relevant regulators, particularly the NHMRC, who is currently reviewing its regulatory framework (with its 2016 regulations sunsetting in October 2026). It feels very important for them to understand that widespread commercialization should not proceed, and for this to be written into actual policy. Also, contacting your federal MP and other politicians to get this on their radar seems very important, since to my knowledge no Australian citizens are working on this. You definitely have an edge there. Also, any local Australian journalists or science communicators would be worth reaching out to.
