Possibly because they could mutate, and become ten feet tall, man-eating, and deadly.

However, unfortunately it is far more likely that this is because they could escape, breed, and become a serious pest, similar to rabbits.

I've found no official reasoning as to why this might be the case, so it's merely an educated guess.

Because if they were released it would disrupt the eco-system of the country. It is illegal to keep a hamster as a pet in Australia.
