Right, but in some countries, it's not widely educated to both technical and non-technical end-users that 112 is the global emergency number.
You and I both know that out of instinct, 000 is the first emergency number to call in Oz. Dialing 112 takes a bit of thought. I think it's worth adding a local emergency number into the registry, but like you said, definitely bear in mind that 112 exists as well.
