Perhaps you should worry less about your technique for interviewing? Maybe it's an Aussie thing, but in the States most corporate employers(not jobs like Blockbuster, Mickey D's and the like) would prefer that you be yourself rather than some perfect little version of yourself. They like to see actual personality in order to guage how well we fit in with the current employees.
PLEASE take with a grain of salt. I don't know the standard interviewing practices in Aussieland - but, if I were an employer, I wouldn't want someone spending their time studying how to give the perfect interview. I'd want someone who was confident enough to demonstate that they knew it and altered it as they saw fit because they spent most of their time doing the job and had too much confidence in themselves and their skills to worry so much about presentation.
