Labor had warned that major reductions to the public service could see welfare recipients and veterans forced to wait weeks or months for payments to be processed; Dutton had promised “frontline” positions would be spared, but hinted education and health department staff could be in the firing line.

Yep, education and health are definitely the first thing that have to go in order to control a population. The dumber and sicker they are, the easier they are to control. Learning from the great US of A.
