Pretty bummed I missed out on a role in this but still well worth a watch...
Surprised @TatyanaMcFadden’s chair isn’t on Twitter yet. #hugefan
Oh great...another week where I miss out on being featured on #OnePlusOne.
You’re running out of time @kurtfearnley...
Tonight on #OnePlusOne:
@bakerboymusic speaks with @kurtfearnley about his journey from Milingimbi to the world stage.
9.30pm on @ABCTV
Hang on...I think we all know who the true comic offsider is.
8 years on twitter and I joined for one man @kurtfearnley and his comic offsider @FearnleysChair I'm the worst twitterfan though. I get my dose of inspiration and then don't check out your feed for months! Loving you on #OnePlusOne
I’m sure @nbnnews will be happy to share the extended version in which he thanks his Chair as well!

Thanks Mick. Well done Kurt.
But I’m claiming a joint share in #TheDon Award, because as we all know, he’d be no-where without me.
Australian sport recognises an athlete with a disability with it's highest honour for the first time. Bravo and congrats @kurtfearnley and of course @FearnleysChair #SAHOF #TheDon

Well done mate. Obviously, as Vice Captain I’ll be calling the shots though...as usual. xitter.cf/kurtfearnley/status/97…
Really honoured with this one. The Principal of Carcoar Public in 1985 had to fight for me to be included into a mainstream education setting. 2018 I get the honour of co-captaining a combined Able & Para Australian Athletics Team. It’s been a journey:) bring on GC2018!! xitter.cf/athsaust/status/975889…
Now we’re talking! 🇦🇺 xitter.cf/ausparalympics/status/…
Obviously... xitter.cf/mrdaverobbo/status/975…
