The article was written by Steve Lopes, with quotes from Dr.Struan Sutherland.

The following were apparently rated on toxicity, temper, and frequency of attacks.

1. Inland Taipan
2. Eastern Brown Snake
3. Taipan
4. Eastern Tiger Snake
5. Reevesby Island Tiger Snake
6. WA Tiger Snake
7. Chappell Island Tiger Snake
8. Death Adder
9. Western Brown Snake
10.Copperhead
11.Indian Cobra
12.Dugite
13.Papuan Banded Snakes
14.Stephen's Banded Snake
15.Rough-scaled Snake
16.King Cobra
17.Blue-bellied Black Snake
18.Collet's Snake
19.Mulga Snake
20.Red-bellied Black Snake
21.Small-eyed Snake
22.Eastern Diamond Back Rattlesnake.

There they are, seems to me like kind of a strange rating system.
