Australia is on fire. Again. Happens every year around this time, but this year is worse. A lot worse, with smoke and haze covering large parts of the eastern seaboard. The effect of the fires can be felt in New Zealand where the smoke is causing blood red sunsets. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Australia has briefly offered a prayer in support. The deadly fires have killed hundreds of drop bears while scourging the countryside across several states.

The linked don't provide any information as to the causes of current fires around Sydney.
I can't find any explanation on what the burning suppression between 1900 and 1950 has to do with the fires around Sydney in 2019.
At the best, I can take your assertion as a hypothesis, on the line of "Maybe those prescribed burnings haven't taken place and that is why the current fires are so fierce".

They provide information about a broader class of wildfires than just the present ones afflicting Sydney.

Without any warranty that the broader class of fires include the ones Sydney experiences now.

Funny how the most extreme claims about who we should listen to come from the non-experts, isn't it?

Funny how some suggest that a Fire and Rescue NSW commissioner for 13+ years [wikipedia.org] has no expertise. I wonder what are the credentials in regards with fires in NSW of those that make such suggestions?

I have expertise too. And it too is not in climatology.
How about evidence?
