Just think about the delicate policitcal climate Australia would have if China went 'full bad guy' the way they have in the Deus Ex timeline. WA and to some extent QLD rely on chinese money, while the Eastern states would no doubt vote in favor of retaining relations with the USA. I could definitely see this sort of thing dividing the country, with a 'Northern' alliance of WA/NT/QLD with support from China vs NSW/VIC/SA etc.

Note that the entries simply refers to 'North' versus 'South', and the only time it refers to individual states are when it mentions the horrors in Queensland with Belltower and with the South occupying the Northern Territory. For all we know SA could be a part of the 'North' too. You are correct in saying that NT seceding by themselves is a little bit too far, but it also never says that is what happened.
