Mary Doyle

Mary Judith Jacinta Doyle (born 26 June 1970) is an Australian politician. She has been a Labor member of the Parliament of Australia representing the Federal Division of Aston since a by-election on 1 April 2023, held to replace former Liberal member Alan Tudge. Doyle previously contested the seat in the 2022 federal election.

The result of the by-election marked the first time since 1920 that a government has won a by-election from the opposition. At the start of the by-election, Doyle lived in the suburb of Mitcham, located in the neighbouring Deakin electorate. She now lives in Wantirna South, within the electorate.

Due to the timing of the by-election and the coronation of King Charles III, Doyle was the first member of the federal parliament to be sworn in under a king since 1951.

Doyle is also a singer and performer. She was a vocalist in Australian indie bands The Late Mail and The Beautiful Few. She also plays the ukulele. Doyle appeared on the Australian television soap opera ''Neighbours'' in 2010 and as a contestant on ''RocKwiz'' in 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
