Career
He was the Labor member for Peats in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1985 to 1994. He worked as a legal assistant, a clerical assistant with the Australian Broadcasting Commission and as executive officer to the New South Wales Attorney-General. He was also involved in the Australian Labor Party, being secretary of the Umina-Ettalong Branch 1977-1984.
In 1985, Doyle was selected as the Labor candidate for the state seat of Peats for the by-election caused by the death of minister Paul Landa.
He was successful, and held the seat easily in 1988 and 1991. On 20 December 1994, Doyle quit Parliament, effective immediately, as he was seriously ill after a long battle with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Number by-election was held to replace him due to the proximity of the 1995 election.
Membership
He died at Umina three days later, aged 41, and became the second successive member of Peats to die suddenly before 50.
