NORMA-L BEHAVIOUR. 4 September 2010
Date: 2010
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
Reference: DCDL-0015527
Description: The Australian (Diamonds) netball coach Norma Plummer tells the cartoonist that she is a Plummer (play on 'plumber') and fixes things that are broken - like her team. The cartoonist has suggested that a 59-40 Silver Ferns win in the second test of the current series - a 19 point loss for the Australians - looks like impropriety - 'I mean the TAB odds... a bit of fixing...' Text above reads 'Norma-l behaviour'. Norma Plummer was succinct in her summing-up; "It was a bit of a hiding, actually," she said. Reference to the Pakistani cricket match-fixing scandal. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
