Folks,
If you are so freaked out by the collision risk potential with ADS-B equipped aircraft in Class G over most of Australia, might I suggest an alternative mode of transport/sport/hobby.
Failing that, get yourself ADS-B IN, you can get portable el cheapo sets to sit on the glareshield. Just remember, they are no substitute for eyes, and can actually be quite misleading --- as I know from both specification and experience.
AsA is not going to be providing you a "service" any time soon. Indeed, not ever, for VFR in G in all but very limited and unique circumstances.
Tootle pip!!
PS: The proper answer at Ballina and the like is Class E airspace ---- the US/International definition (VFR exempt) of E, not the Australian version.
