Yes he can, flydubai has visa/master card verification, your brother must send you a photocopy of his passport and credit card.
Good to go.
As FlyDubai is a IATA member airline, your brother maybe able to book a ticket for you through a travel agency in Australia and pay for that ticket with whatever form of payment the agency accepts.
Folks are so used to doing everything online, they have forgotten about the old fashion way of doing bookings face to face either at the airline’s ticket office or an IATA appointed travel agency. In person bookings fall under different rules when it comes to verification of form of payment. In practice a customer booking a ticket in person appears before the travel agent, produces the form of payment be it a credit card or check or other such and thus those bookings are considered as FOP verified (form of payment).
With an online booking neither the card nor the cardholder are physically present for verification, thus that sale is more open to fraud. Hence a number of airlines require showing the card at check in to verify its validity and your permission to have charged to it. And in the OP’s specific case, obviously a number of countries have been sources of frequent credit card fraud, thus are no longer allowed able to avail themselves to 3rd party card payments.
Another possible alternative would be for your brother to wire funds to cover the ticket cost and you walk into a FlyDubai ticket office to purchase your ticket with cash.

Can my brother from Australia buy a ticket from his credit card?
NO, your brother cannot buy an airline ticket from his credit card on your behalf. Bangladesh is listed on those countries which cannot use a credit/debit card to pay for someone else.

Pay on someone else’s behalf
You can pay for another traveller’s flight using cash. Just select the ‘pay later’ option when you book, then make the payment through one of our Payment Partners. If you want to pay by credit/debit card, the person you’re paying for will need to show a photocopy of the front of your credit/debit card and a photocopy of your passport at check-in. You can’t use your credit/debit card to pay for someone else to travel to or from Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Sudan.
However there is also a possiblity to reserve a seat and select ‘pay later’ when you book through online or through customer service and pay at a flydubai Travel Shop or through one of their Payment Partners (a payment fee may apply).
