There isn't a single fact in this post. There is, however, a lot of Alex Jones conspiracy theory type stuff. I won't try and address any but the most ignorant points.

That figure is a fabrication, and you know it. 24 arsonists have been charged this year, and none of the large campaign fires going at the moment we're started by arson.

For a party that's never been in power anywhere, ever, those greens are pretty powerful eh?
Bushfire abatement works are effectively exempt from environmental legislation. Always have been. Safety wins every time.
Open nation parks up for grazing? You'd never see your sheep again and your cows would starve. You'd also destroy the ecosystems that places like Canberra rely on for their water supplies.
