Most likely because the hot water slightly melts the bumps in the ice and then freezes creating a smooth layer of ice for the skaters to skate on.

What sports are not played in Australia?

Australians play most sports, even "minority" sports like handball (which is exciting and should be played more). Virtually any sport played overseas is played in Australia.

Ice hockey and other ice sports are not popular, because the only way to play them is in indoor skating rinks, since we have a warm to hot climate and ice rinks are expensive to operate. There is an Australian Ice Hockey Association, so it is certainly played. Even "obscure" games such as lacrosse are enjoying a resurgence in school competition.
