Snakes need to get into the double digits in length for me to call them monster or big. But that is just me Where I grew up a variety of snakes were common, ranging from 3 to 6 feet on average.
Brownies (Eastern Brown Snakes) and Tiger snakes tend to be around 2m or just over, and I've seen Red Bellied Blacks longer than that. But the Kingies are generally thought to be the longest venomous Aussie snake.
'Monster' is a relative term though. Kingies rank up there with the longest venomous snakes in the world. If you take pythons out of the equation, then King Cobras and Black Mambas are the only 'monsters' regularly in double digits.

What is the species of huge monster non-pythons in Aus?

It is a rattler, but they are utilizing forced perspective to make it look far larger than it really is.
