This means a reduction in the length of the cooler stable weather periods when prescribed burns are able to be performed:

So the opportunities when the weather is "just right" for conducting a fuel reduction burn are fewer. Various regional fire departments have stated they are not able to complete their planned burns as a result.

Not risking a prescribed burn getting out of control due to unfavorable weather conditions doesn't sound like shitty forest management policy.
Another factor leading to fuel load build up is the decimation of native wild life like quendas and woylies due to predation by feral cats, dogs and foxes:

These small marsupials eat the leaves or dig the leaf litter into the soil while foraging. This reduces the build up of dry leaves on the ground and thus reduces the fuel load.
