So, the Australian Government paid the Australian National University... A sum of money. Scholarship funding for me to be (rather conveniently) regarded, by them, to be a 'domestic student'.
The Australian Government gave the Philosophy Programme at the Australian National University a bunch of money to train / teach me. To complete a PhD in 3 or 4 years.
Number of supervision meetings I received from the Philsoophy Department:
0
I think.
Or maybe my supervisor has records of supervision meetings that I didn't keep records of. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that the number of supervision meetings that I had with my supervisor was:
0.
Maybe the meeting I had where I was told I wasn't making progress so I should f*ck off back to NZ counted as 1.
My supervisor was a real gem of a human being. Writing about slavery etc. Real philosophy of biology how we keep the people as animals and ensure they don't have an appreciteship system sort of a thing. Cover page of the book is giving the monkeys peanuts (which would have been progress).
Apparently the fact they paid me for 3 or 4 years of studentship is everything they owed me.
Of course that's how come he's most desirable hire in Australasia. For the fact that his studnets don't get jobs. Because he takes up all of the funding for himself.
