At the risk of being pedantic I have to point out that the October Long Weekend, where celebrated, is Labour Day. King's Birthday is, in most states, in June.

True, but they are much harder to break for access if they are laminated (as are virtually all windscreens these days). They have to be punctured and then cut.
In the SES access to a crashed car is through a side or rear window, if there is any left. In most serious prangs all the glass is completely gone except for the windscreen which may be damaged but is usually still bonded into its frame.
