Yep - we've never had bushfires like this before - except that the 100 years trend for bushfires is down instead of up, and while the current ones are bad, we've had far worse.
You cite a predictive paper from 1988 as proof, when even climate alarmists like Professor Andy Pitman are reluctant to link bushfires to Climate Change in the manner catastrophists do.

And, let's get lots more subsidies for solar panels and heaps more concessions and subsidies for electric cars, so that the poorest members of our society can pay for the elitist rich - so that the latter can virtue signal about how environmentally concious they are. The poorest pay the big power bills that subsidise the rich, but it's kind of hard for renters to afford to put up solar panels and take them with them when they have to switch houses.
As for your Norway example, despite the huge subsidies, as the Guardian article states, most electric cars are people's second car - not their primary car.

So that the poor and poorer middle class people here would wind up subsidising rich people's $80,000 to $200,000 second car - given that the poorer are usually driving second hand $5000 to $20,000 cars - which is all they can afford to buy. I'm sure it would give them great pleasure to know their taxes are subsidizing all the Teslas in the richest suburbs.
Finally, you blame Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison for the current bushfire situation. If any of them had done the right thing by your logic and closed down ALL of Australia's fossil fuel power generation, what would have been the result of our grand sacrifice?
Answer - given that China alone typically adds as much coal-fired power in any three to eight month period as Australia's total capacity, result would be zilch. And with countries like India, Germany and Japan also furiously building new coal fired plants, the answer becomes double-zilch.
