Actually the whole scenario is very plausible considering that there is already a divide between QLD/NSW/VIC and WA/Eastern States. Hell, WA has considered splitting from the East in the past.

You're taking 'South Australia' too literally. South Australian Confederation is clearly meant for SA/VIC/NSW/TAS etc, while the NT is clearly a union between WA/NT/QLD AKA 'mining money' vs 'money spenders'. NT siding with the chinese makes sense too, since the major reason for the divide is that the Eastern States eat up all of the profit that the mining states make, and who do they sell to?

You guessed it, China. If a major political divide happened that launched China into 'bad guy' territory, there would be serious backlash here in Australia since politically we're aligned with the USA, but economically we rely on China.
