Morrison is our statue of unempathic neoliberalism - erected by evangelical and corporate Australia to celebrate their victory over compassion, equality and secular humanism.

Neoliberalism in Australia has been implemented by both the major parties. The LNP-LAB Duopoly have used the strategy of Graduation over the last 40 years.

To make an unacceptable measure accepted, you only need to apply it gradually, to dropper, for consecutive years. This is how radically new socioeconomic conditions (neoliberism) were imposed during the decades of the 80 s and 90’s......

: minimum state, privatisation, precariousness, flexibility, mass unemployment, wages that no longer guarantee dignified incomes , so many changes that would have brought about a revolution if they were implemented at once.

Another strategy that the duopoly use governments to manipulate the masses into accepting gov decisions is the strategy of Deferring.

Another way to get an unpopular decision to accept is to present it as ′′ painful and necessary ", gaining public acceptance, in the moment, for future application.

It is easier to accept a future sacrifice than an immediate sacrifice. First, because effort isn't that taken immediately. Second, because the public, the mass, always tends to naively hope that ′′ everything will be better tomorrow ′′.....

and that the required sacrifice could be avoided. This gives the audience more time to get used to the idea of change and accept it resigned when the time comes.

The #LNP -#LAB strategy of distraction.
The primordial element of social control is the distraction strategy that consists of diverting the public's attention from major problems and the changes decided by political and......

economic elites, through flooding of continuous distractions and insignificant information.

Distraction strategy is also essential to prevent the public from becoming interested in essential knowledge in the area of science, economics, psychology, neurobiology and cybernetics.

Keeping the audience's attention deviated from real social problems, imprisoned by themes.
Keeping the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think, back to the farm like other animals.
