Last year, Allison hit back at criticism from people who ‘don’t like’ ACA while accepting an award at the 2024 Logie Awards.

She was recognised for her hosting role when she won the Silver Logie for Best News or Public Affairs Presenter.

She beat out the ABC’s David Speers and Sarah Ferguson, Channel Nine’s Liz Hayes and Peter Overton, and Seven’s Michael Usher to take home the esteemed gong.

During her acceptance speech, Allison paid tribute to her predecessor Tracy Grimshaw and hit back at people who ‘don’t like’ the news program.

‘To Trace who I love, she’s the one who always said the people who don’t like our show, don’t know our show,’ she said.

‘To Mike Munro, Ray Martin, and everyone who has been in this role, thank you.’

Allison also said she pours her ‘heart and soul’ into her job as she shared her pride at taking home the Silver Logie.

‘When you hear all [the nominees], you definitely don’t expect yours to be the one called out,’ she began.

‘Everything we do is with heart and soul. If a story doesn’t have heart and soul, we just don’t do it.

‘I look at those who’ve sat in this chair before me, right back to my father-in-law [Mike Willesee] who started this show.

‘It would be wonderful if he could have seen the family connection and where that played out.’

Allison joined the Nine Network program at the start of 2023 after leaving the Today show following a three-year stint.
