Question SQ and tailwind @ Sydney?

After some info from ATCOs if you are in the know.

Heard a rumour that SQ may be up for a little fine for a pre curfew landing on 16R at Sydney yesterday (Monday) morning. The source reports that one SQ aircraft landed on 34L with 22 knots of tailwind and that another landed prior to 0600 local on 16R due to insufficient fuel to hold until curfew lifted.

Just after a confirmation and a couple of questions. Does an aircraft that lands with such a tailwind get reported by ATC or is ATC not into that sort of stuff? Also, who reports the curfew breach. Does ATC do that? Just interested in the mechanics of it.
