"&lt;p&gt;Mr Andrews said he will talk more about punishments for breaking curfew at tomorrow&amp;apos;s briefing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ll have more to say about fines and penalties soon. Today is not the day for that,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Anybody breaking that curfew, you run the risk of being caught and run the risk of being fined and we always reserve the right not just to fine you on the spot but to take you to court and then it&amp;apos;s not $1,652, it&amp;apos;s actually $10,000.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr Andrews said the tough new measures are needed and needed now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Anything short of this will see it on for months and months and months. That is not acceptable to Having to stand here every day reporting more and more people dying. We need to come down on this hard. This is what this strategy is all about,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;"
