OK, So I understand that he is considered a "Hero" because he crawled the Kokoda Trail etc. but... wasn't it his choice to do that? I am not trying to say anything bad about his experience, and I think it was an amazing effort. Well Done Kurt! However, when he got to Brisbane Airport, and Jetstar said he had to give up his wheelchair, and have some people give him a free ride onto the airplane... did he HAVE to chuck a Hissy Fit? Where is our society going when a physically challenged person can throw a FIT when he is being taken care of 110%?
OK, so I understand that he didn't want a free ride, and he wanted to go another few hundred metres in his own chair.. but MAN, they wanted to take you to your seat.. why not sit back , relax, and get a free ride? Instead, he crawls through the airport. Now normally I would feel sorry for the guy.;. having to crawl... except for 2 things. #1 He didn't HAVE to crawl, he could have just taken a free ride to his seat and relaxed. and #2 He just crawled the entire Kokoda Trail... a few hundred yards through the airport should be a breeze...
To me, this is 200% about a precious Prima Donna trying to make a BIG deal out of nothing. Trouble is, the press is giving this guy airtime. I think He's a jerk that should shut up and take the free rides....
