Lilley was responsible for the introduction of free education in Queensland in 1870 (the first Australian state to do so) and had a substantial influence on the Education Act, 1875 which, while amended on several occasions afterwards, sufficed until the Education Act 1964 . He also influenced later debates on university and adult education. The Federal Electorate Of Lilley is named after him.
