NOMINATIONS | June 2021 Jerk of the Month

Time for the June 2021 Jerk of the Month nominations and who’d think that they would come around again with a large chunk of Australia in lockdown.

As a result most of the nominations are related to Covid based jerk-work, but not all. As ever it is a wide mix of politics, people and sports. All with one thing in common, being a jerk in June 2021. And usually for many months before that.

Who is the month’s biggest jerk is ultimately up to you, the reader of this website. Yes all five of you. So vote now, vote early and vote often. For as many of the candidates who take or floats your boat.

For now read the form guide and list of nominations for June 2021 Jerk of the Month, and get ready to vote early and vote often.

BRISBANE 19YO LOCKDOWN COVID SPREADER

et contentiones sints curra  

We’ve seen a few balloon heads since Coronavirus dug its claws into life in Australia, and a lot of the very worst have found their way to our Jerk of the Month nominations, and June 2021’s first nomination is deserving in their place as the worst of the worst.

Imagine working anywhere near a Covid ward in a hospital without being vaccinated. Given no one except the person knows what the circumstances you’d almost give them a pass.

Until this buffoon allegedly starts showing signs of sickness on Monday week ago. Even without knowing the origin, surely someone working near a Covid ward would remove themselves from daily life and get tested at the very first sign of even a minor sniffle. Not if you are a selfish clown. 

No, why would you when you can go to work for the next two days.

And after that, the best thing to do would be to go on holidays. Not just to one of the two coasts (which are now going to struggle thanks to this idiot) but why not get on a plane. Proven to be the most Covid friendly form of travel outside of a Queensland Quarantine Hotel room.

Then go and spread the love on the Northern Covid tour to an already struggling northern Queensland tourism region, which has also been subsequently locked down.

And after returning they still wait until Monday to get tested.

And of course you knew it was going to be the worst Delta strain. Of course. Why go to all the trouble of being an oversized jerk it you didn’t have the best possible form of Covid to share.

Thanks a million, from millions.

AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Vaccinum incompetentem declaret

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

While the latest outbreak of Covid in Australia may have happened anyway, it probably wouldn’t be on the grand scale we are currently seeing.

Australia has blown its low case numbers and ability to control inbound people into the country with a glacial rollout of the vaccines.

Then they change their mind over the more dangerous of the vaccines to younger people because they have no other plans or it has been suggested that it is because there’s a batch of vaccines about to go past their use-by date. Even key Medical bodies are advising against the new direction of the Federal Government.

While Covid had some downtime in Australia, the Australian Federal Government were bumbling with no idea. Better still, they were so bad they simply removed any potential goals on rollout numbers.

It merely nails the point that anything good done by a government during Coronavirus has been done by the states, and most of the federal governments work has been hopeless. Looking at you Covid Safe app.

Their effort has been so bad it may even cost them the next election despite having an opposition which offers absolutely nothing.

SCOTT MORRISON 

Superbus risus stulti

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

Since he’s in charge of the above first nomination, and has a few years of smirk and shirk there’s no way a Jerk of the Month nomination can go ahead without his name attached.

His super power of Smug doesn’t seem to be working this time around.

GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN

Poltiical scurra Atticus

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

Gladys Berejiklian is in charge of NSW, and the latest Covid problems have come from Sydney/NSW, and all because of political point scoring of keeping Sydney lockdown free for as long as possible.

Mainly because she has been quick to point out the flaws of other state’s perceived quickness of locking down.

Smugly patting herself on the back as Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne went into short, sharp lockdowns.

Now thanks to her stubborness and/or sloth the rest of Australia look like they may be affected.

SYDNEY LIMOUSINE DRIVER

Currus pulsis inscius

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

While we are sharing out the blame for the recent otubreak of Coronavirus in Sydney, you can’t go past the original person who caught it.

The lack of wearing a mask despite driving people between quarantine seems to have set it all off.

Thanks.

But at least they didn’t appears to be quite so brazen like their Queensland patient zero counterpart above.

COVID RESTRICTION IGNOREES

inconsideratus maximus

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

People who think they are better than everyone else and don’t have to follow the rules because they are selfish twits.

Like the Nude Sunbakers who were scared of deer.

Like the NRL Bulldogs Players getting on the turps and reducing their club to name untested youngster due to a lack of available players.

Like NRL lightweight Josh Dugan

Like the Busload of people from Sydney heading to a Dubbo zoo in full defiance of the Sydney lockdown.

Like the people who took a flight to Cooper Pedy for a beer.

Like Barnaby Joyce

Like whoever this MAF “star” is.

CARDBOARD WAIVING TOUR DE FRANCE FAN

excutite chartam mirator

Anyone driving around any metro capital has occasionally raged about cyclists, behind Uber drivers and anti-vaxxers they can be some of the most ignorant people in the world. But most stop at the thought of hurting them.

Not so for one Tour de France spectator whose giant cardboard sign was so important she needed it to get as prominent in the coverage as possible. This included getting in the face of one of the leading cyclists at the the time whose own accident brought down a large chunk of the field.

So the cardboard sign saw all hell broke loose and it apparently looked like a war zone afterwards with shredded lycra everywhere.

Not that the person did it on purpose, but that’s much like everyone above. Lack of intention in being a jerk is no disqualifier.

QUEENSLAND ORIGIN TEAM

debilis defricatus urina

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

For two servings of State of Origin tripe.

As least crap Queensland teams back in the day tried until the end and punched above their weight always.

Now NSW are better, with better players and more heart.

ISRAEL FOLAU

Eques legalis

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

For threatening Supreme Court action if he wasn’t allowed to play local rugby league on the Gold Coast.

Not happy with almost bankrupting one Australian sporting organisation. 

For the governing body QRL, their crime was to merely insist he wasn’t still contracted to another club. Which he was until very recently.

HARRY & MEGHAN aka former Duke and Duchess of Somewhere

Qui dives celebre minabantur gementes

Why have they been such a jerk this month?

That’s enough now.

Just enough.
