A Major shift like this is not good news. To me it's like "good news everyone! It's now not as cold in the winter!" Aka the planet is just beginning to boil but hasn't yet.

The warmer winter I ment in general regardless of where you are, but yes, it is summer there, but if all of the sudden people were happy death valley in the US was blooming I would not be thrilled , in fact I would be terrified of what this means and for what's about to start happening and becoming the "new normal".

You know that the frogs who are adapted to these sort of events will be welcoming the rain, to fill up their water bubbles for the next dry season?

The last hundred years in Australia have been unusually dry. This greening is both welcome and expected, and not a "major shift" of any sort.

If there are frogs waiting for water in the sand, there was flooding before… Australian climate has huge variations even without climate change, that’s why the country is also at high risk from its effects.
