Opened the debate
Doyle introduced the Tilly Aston Community Awards, established to honour volunteers and community groups in the electorate. Doyle noted the awards commemorate Matilda Aston, a disability activist and teacher after whom the electorate is named. Doyle encouraged nominations, including self-nominations, to recognise quiet achievers who support local organisations. Doyle linked community support to backing workers, welcoming the Fair Work Commission's wage increases effective from 1 July. Doyle stated these increases would benefit approximately three million low-paid workers across Australia.
