So what were the causes of the queensland outages with their coal?

It was transmission tower failures that took out the network for the significant outage.

The really big 2016 blackout in SA also wasn't caused by wind or solar energy, but that doesn't mean that stabilising the network isn't something that won't be required if the energy production develops more towards renewables.
