A friend and I watched the 'Killing the Black Dog' talk and recital videos last night that are on that site: very interesting human documents. The Australian poetry scene is different from the Brit: it's not that it isn't full of shite like the British and Irish scenes, but, unlike England-Britain, it's not class-based shite, here underneath it all everything is predicated on class, and it's a kind of international holiday-home for it too, slowly returning to the way it was pre-World War One, the English themselves are among the most colonised subjugated peoples in the world! What's noticeable about Murray is that he's speaking from the same language as his audience, not through it and down at them.
