Very Simple.....Greedy Politicians nd d People who voted for them...

The ‘Climate Change’ factor is exactly ZERO. Just a smokescreen to defer responsibility for personal carelessness and incompetent management.

Kangaroo terrorists obviously.

183 arsonists arrested might have something to do with it.

Drought tinderbox conditions.

The banning of stategic burn offs which strategically burn off firebreaks of bush to avoid natural wild fires spreading. They were banned because they omit CO2 which as we all know, kills plants. Pushed through by environmental lobbyists. Nice work leftists.

Three letters D U H

Ah derrr... people, humans, wasters 👎🏼

Not very convincing to reduce effect to one cause. How about winds, more likely the biggest factor...plus what about tree breaks, preparations, agriculture (destroyed half natural Australia) etc etc.

Rampant unchecked land grabbing is a reason. Man continues to build houses in places he shouldnt be building houses like near rivers and bush outback

ARSON, 200 arrests .... maybe?

Arson.
