Suicidal Aussie calls NZ police

New Zealand's police might be facing pressure over speeding ticket quotas, poor response times and dirty pictures on their computers, but a woman in Australia is fortunate to have had their help.

Constable Darrel Cowen was in the watch house at Palmerston North police station at 4.30am yesterday, busy with paperwork, when the phone rang. A distraught woman said she was going to kill herself as soon as she had hung up."

Dang!!!
