I think the **real solution** is to do all parental rating as per the country's rating system for anything where there is any ambiguity - if the country has a rating of AU-PG, then that should be a completely separate rating from PG-13, 13, M, AU-M, AU-MA15+, 15, 14. If the person has chosen a parental rating of AU-PG in Jellyfin, then anything that is in a PG related classification should not show up unless the administrator has properly identified it as AU-PG.
So, if I set my child's classification/parental rating to AU-PG, the following will apply;
U - will show for AU-PG
G - will show for AU-PG
AU-PG will show for AU-PG
PG, PG-13, 13, 14, M, MA, AU-M, AU-MA15 and anything else that is not explicity U, G, AU-G, 7, and AU-PG will not show up until I get the correct rating in the metadata.
In other words, AU-PG should incorporate only ratings that are clearly below it such as U, G, AU-G, 7, and AU-PG, but not ratings where there might be any ambiguity. The onus is then on the parent to set the ratings in the metadata before something shows up. It is better to err toward caution rather than have a parental rating of AU-PG show AU-MA15+ rated material.
This should probably be the same with setting the rating to M, AU-M - these ratings should not show MA15, AU-MA15, 15, R, 18, AU-R, or whatever else is ambiguous. The onus will then be on the person setting the metadata to set it correctly and no improper materials will be seen by those who should not see it. A point in case is that my wife mostly does not want to see AU-MA15 material, so I set her parental rating to AU-M, but now she is seeing a whole lot of stuff that she, a consenting adult, does not want to see. She can log in to my profile if she wants to see it, but she should then have to explicitly choose because she has chosen a rating limit already and should not have to filter out the AU-MA15 and above stuff.
This whole thing seems have gone wrong in an effort to make things more granular.
Perhaps a better approach would be to make things more granular in the options available in the settings rather than in the interpretation of the settings that the user has no control over (apart from re-compiling Jellyfin). So all profiles have a check list of all possible ratings, and the parent/administrator has to explicitly tick every rating they want to be visible. Or to speed this up, it could have umbrella categories with sub-categories that get selected if the umbrella category is selected, but only if the umbrella category is selected. Alternately, there could be a tick box for "more granular ratings selections" that does something like the following (if unticked it can remain as it was)...
So, in the Jellyfin settings, I will see something like;
NR [ ]
-- NR [ ]
-- AU-NC [ ]
U [ ]
-- U [ ]
-- AU-U [ ]
etc for other countries
G [ ]
-- MPAA-G [ ]
-- AU-G [ ]
-- 7 [ ]
etc for other countries
PG [ ]
-- 13
-- PG-13 [ ]
-- AU-PG [ ]
-- 14 [ ]
etc for other countries
M [ ]
-- MPAA-M [ ]
-- 15 [ ]
-- AU-M [ ]
-- AU-MA15 [ ]
etc for other countries
etc, etc.
That way a parent/administrator can tick either the larger category that will select all under it, or just tick the ratings they want.
Perhaps this requires that under an advanced ratings setting, the parent/administrator can type in their own ratings that match the metadata that their scraper is getting for their location, and that these get incorporated into the longer list of tick-boxes for ratings once entered.

I think that's why it doesn't work. How can I get it to show up properly?
