Contact Marine Safety Queensland, ask for Anthony Alback, and if you get put through explain what's been happening in a calm and reasoned way.
If you get his email then write a thorough description of what's been happening, again in a calm and reasoned way.
I've dealt with Anthony many times and he's a good guy, though constrained by limited resources and a large jurisdiction. Whatever can be done to help him will, ultimately, also help you and the other paddlers at Straddie.

Try and sell it like speeding fines, skis doing the wrong thing could be the biggest revenue raiser.

If all else fails you could look at getting ABF Marine Unit uniforms and badges made up in somewhere like Thailand and have them sent over.
Round up a few of your mates and equip with some fake IDs, pepperspray and a 26 inch telescopic police baton.
Find out where they are launching from and commence to seize the personal watercraft employed in behavior inconsistent with established regulations.
Should your plan fail and you get caught; at least the stage will be set for you to voice publicly, and to a current affair media your frustrations regarding their obscene behaviour, either way we see victory as yours,

Kev, self-regulation is the only way.
We've found that if you're in a group with at least 3 blokes, yelling profanities at the top of your lungs usually moves them along...unless they are a special kind of knob...which is unfortunately all too common amongst surfers.
Over the last few years the lineup at South Straddie has been overrun by jet ski crew doing step-offs near paddlers.
