Ahead of her first sit-down TV interview since becoming premier, the ABC asked voters in Croydon, Werribee, Geelong, Mildura and Ms Allan's hometown of Bendigo what issues they thought were most pressing, and if they had any questions for the premier.

This stuck out:

Throughout the ABC's interview, Ms Allan repeated well-worn lines about her government's agenda, diverted questions about stamp duty reform to the need for a national approach, and said her government was spending hundreds of millions of dollars fixing potholes in regional roads.

Nice to see the political talk called out and summarised rather than printed in full, even if it was only to serve as a way to push readers to watch the video.
