This is intentional misinformation designed to elicit this exact response. Right wing blogs are taking the stats from NSWs police force who caution people for things like discarding cigarettes and having small fires on their properties and heavily implying there’s some leftist arson campaign that is responsible. It’s laughably implausible.

- ehnto 7y agoThe spread of the information on Facebook causes the most damage I think. People who would never get involved in these lines of thought previously are now rabid supporters for accusations like the Bureau of Meteorology doctoring the numbers, an arsonist campaign, and my personal favourite, the Greens stopping backburning being the cause. (Greens are in favor backburning, but are also in an incredibly low power position and couldn't enact any policy in that regard anyway)
