000 Emergency |
What would you do if you were seriously injured at home and needed medical help urgently? Most of us would call triple zero, the Australian emergency line for the Police, Fire Brigade or Ambulance. But how would you feel if you were put on hold? It's a frustrating thought, but we all could be at risk of that because of the amount of people calling the emergency number to play stupid jokes. |
