The long line of red lights stretching into the darkness ahead of me is a familiar sight. I am on the Hume Highway driving to Canberra once again to avoid the prospect of 14 days in quarantine should the Victorian Premier continue to lock down the State. The drive is hardly lonely; there is a road-train, lit up in bright red and white lights, every few hundred metres, maintaining the essential supplies to our cities and exports overseas despite the Covid restrictions.
