Which is the same conclusion your article draws.

The referendum is non binding, and separation couldn’t happen without the consent of the federal government and the First Nations, which would never happen.

I predict The Yes vote won’t even break 30%.

It’s just a giant shit-stirring waste of time and money.

Hopefully a bunch of treasonous assholes will go to prison and the ARP will be sued out of existence.

But most of all, this will hopefully mark the end of Smith’s reign and career.
