Abortion & reproductive policy verified
Allan, member for Bendigo East since 1999, voted for the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 that decriminalised abortion in Victoria; her Wikipedia biography notes she received abusive emails and a picket of her electorate office by anti-abortion campaigners over the vote and was targeted by Right to Life groups in the 2010 campaign. As Premier in October 2024 she said there are 'real and genuine threats to the protections women have fought for and won' and that legislation to protect those rights 'is being looked at being torn down at too many opportunities by conservative politicians.'

Drugs & law and order verified
As Premier, Allan announced in April 2024 that the government would not proceed with a second medically supervised injecting room in Melbourne's CBD, saying a site balancing user support and community backing could not be found and committing instead to expanded health and addiction supports. In March 2025 she announced and her government passed the 'toughest bail laws in the country', stating 'I have listened to victims of crime and Victorians, and I have acted', removing remand as a last resort and making community safety the overarching principle.

Nuclear & uranium verified
As Victorian Premier, opposed the federal Coalition's June 2024 nuclear plan, characterising nuclear as "a more expensive, more risky, more toxic" energy solution and indicating her government would not support it.
Transport & infrastructure verified
As Premier (2023-2026) and long-time Minister for Transport Infrastructure and the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL), Allan has been the leading champion of Victoria's Suburban Rail Loop. She has overseen the ~$34.5bn SRL East since its inception, signed the first tunnelling contracts, and continued to defend and fund the project (advancing tax measures and funding in December 2025), framing it as congestion-cutting rail linking Melbourne's middle-suburban universities and delivering tens of thousands of homes.
