He was born in Cheltenham, Melbourne, to market gardener George Thomas Allnutt and Josephine Cameron. He attended state schools at Cheltenham and Moorabbin, and worked for his father before becoming a farmer at Carwarp around 1920. On 11 February 1922, he married Robina Elizabeth Marchbank, with whom he had a son; a second marriage to Wilhelmina Redenbach on 29 September 1929 produced a daughter. In 1927, he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the Country Progressive member for Mildura. From 1930, he was a member of the reunited Country Party. He was government whip from 1936 to 1937, but from 1939 was an outspoken critic of Albert Dunstan's leadership. In 1945, he supported a no-confidence motion against Dunstan's government and was expelled from the Country Party. He stood as an independent ministerialist in 1945 but was defeated.
