Yes another month has rolled, and yes it is time for the May 2019 Jerk of the Month nominations.
There may be as sense of Déjà vu with the May 2019 Jerk of the Month, as there are a lot of repeat offenders nominated, but that’s only because they are serial jerks and re-offend.
Of course, we always delay the May nominations to allow for a French Open based choice, and are rarely disappointed.
Whoever wins the May 2019 Jerk of the Month is up to you. So, as ever, vote early and vote often.

FORM GUIDE – May 2019 Jerk of the Month
NICK KYRGIOS
Why nominated for the Jerk?
Ahh, yes. Good Ol’ Nick Kyrgios. He steps up for the Jerk of the Month doesn’t he?
When in Rome, he had an on court tantrum, eventually kicked out of the game for abuse to a chair among other things.
Then just before the French Open kicks off at Roland Garros he says the tournament absolutely sucks.
Then he pulls out before his first round clash anyway.
Wimbledon awaits, where he will probably make the semi finals before soiling himself further with a tank.
Jerk Rating: 10/10
FRASER ANNING
Why nominated for the Jerk?
With Fraser Anning’s unsuccessful attempt to get re-elected into the senate for Queensland, this should be the last time he will be up for a Jerk of the Month nomination.
At least he and his supporters went down with some nice sour grapes – claiming shenangians at the AEC counting.
His new Conservative party actually got 28,681 votes, which is 28,662 more than Anning got personally at the last election.
Despite that new found support, the party finished behind the big two parties, One Nation, Clive Palmer and Bob Katter’s parties, Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP) Party, and Animal Justice Party.
Jerk Rating: 9/10
PETER DUTTON
Why nominated for the Jerk?
For winning the seat of Dickson. And another three or so years of him.
Jerk Rating: 9/10
MICHAEL SLATER
Why nominated for the Jerk?
Michael Slater reminded the Australian Public that a big cricket tournament is just around the corner by getting himself in the limelight just in time.
Aside from just being him, his big even and reason for nomination was his exploits in arguing with some women and getting kicked off a plane.
Perhaps like the rest of us, the women were asking him why we have to put up with him of Fox Cricket, when we clearly pay extra not to hear him.
Jerk Rating: 9.7/10
DANE RAMPE
Why nominated for the Jerk?
Probably not on the same level as those above them, but still worthy of a jerk nomination anyway.
Sure climbing up a goal post to stop someone from scoring, and telling an umpire that he talks like a little girl is low grade jerkdom, but he still leads the field for Australian sport jerk work.
Although he got a little come-uppance against Collingwood on the weekend.
Jerk Rating: 2/10
FERRARI F1 TEAM
Why nominated for the Jerk?
For failing to live up to the pre season hype and not giving F1 fans a decent title fight.
Their underperforming car, and hapless race strategy is entertaining enough, but is making F1 as dull as ever up the front.
Jerk Rating: 1/10
DAENERYS TARGARYEN
Why nominated for the Jerk?
For burning an entire city
Jerk Rating: 0/10
