Yeah, droughts are getting worse, but it's not just that. It's weather in general getting more extreme, harder to handle. Drought alternating with torrential rain is very bad; long gentle rains are better.
I agree with this, but I would just say for Australia the whole Droughts and Flooding rains is pretty normal at least inland and has been for centuries if not millennia. It's worse now, for sure, but it's a thing. It's even memorialised in one of the nations favourite poems.
And yes, people are exceedingly stupid.
Relatedly, Ned Kelly's sister drowned in our lake back in the day and she was an adult.
