I am pretty sure it would be called 912. In the US we use the terms 910 and 912 to represent pre attack and post attack mentality. Such as "he is thinking still thinking in a 9-10 world". To be honest the connection to the emergency number, 911, is rarely brought up as that is pronounced "nine one one" not "nine eleven". Does Australia use 911 for emergency numbers. I know Korea uses 119 but they have the most illogical phone number system imaginable (Some numbers have 7 digits and others 8).
