Government and environmental wackos are responsible for the fires.
Years of no backburning, no clearing brush and no protective measures...
Nonsense. They arrested a couple of dozen for giggles. A firefighter in a fire pron state told me fully 30% or more of the small wildland fires he responded to were arson. They tend not to call them that unless they get a conviction.
2 dozen firebugs, one was a volunteer firefighter who’d allegedly set at least 7 blazes.
183 criminal investigations (many for poor fire safety, eg discarded lit cigarettes, perhaps trash fires and controlled burns that got out of hand).
There were fires that were maliciously ignited and the human factor in many others cannot be denied.
It happens in California as well (firebug forestry freaks and illegal immigrant campfires that get out of hand).
Now backtracking on the arson cases. Here is some interesting things from the past...

“Fire has been present on the Australian continent for millions of years and has been significant in shaping much of the landscape. Many fires were started by lightning.
Aboriginal people used fire for many thousands of years to ‘care for country’. The fires were a tool that encouraged the growth and extent of grasslands to enhance hunting, reduced levels of fuel, and kept vegetation from becoming dense and hard to walk through.
Because there are few comprehensive records of bushfires in the early stages of European settlement, or beforehand, the following chronology includes only those bushfires that have occurred since 1851.”
ABC here in Australia is the CNN of the USA. Actually they are government sponsored like PBS.However, their management and radio and TV hosts are controlled by the Green Party here in Oz, even though they are mostly funded by we, the people through the government. They do not allow conservative commentators to be members of ABC.
Methinks they doth protest too much.
Crikey. Just ban lightening! Very simple solution.
Journalists go to school simply to learn equivocation. A pox on them!

Unprecedented except for 1974 when it was much more widespread
Liars just have lie
“There is a difference between the summers across the Northern Hemisphere versus the Southern Hemisphere. At this time of year, the Earth is closer to the sun by approximately 3 million miles when compared to July, when its farthest from the sun...The Southern Hemisphere is now tilted toward the sun and the intensity of its rays is about 7 percent HIGHER than what we get in the summer.”I never knew that.
