I do not know if this article is correct or simply bull sierra. If the majority of the fires are in isolated areas it is probably of natural causes. If these fires are near human habitation it is probably arson or stupidity.
The 2 dozen arsonists arrested are all from New South Wales. They weren’t able to claim “conspiracy theory” because the police themselves reported it (and the hundreds more other fire cases).
What do the OTHER Australian states’ police say? ZERO cases?
This is policy wonk spinning of some (but not all) data.
