I wonder if it may be at least partly an algorithm fail.
My understanding is that they took pictures on lots of of nights and then used used the results that had the brightest pictures to be included in the final picture.
For the rest of the world, this means that the nights most free of clouds were used.
For Australia, it means that if there was a bushfire on any of the nights that a region was being imaged, then that nights image would be used, as it would obviously be brighter than every other night.
Even if that's the case, there still seem to be too many fires in the west - there should be relatively more in Norther Queensland surely?
