Cashmore served as Minister for Health and Minister for Tourism during the 1979–1982 Tonkin government, the first woman member of Cabinet since Joyce Steele. In 1992 she contested the leadership of her party against John Olsen and Dean Brown, the eventual winner.
Once dubbed the 'green conscience' of the Liberal Party, Cashmore was the first member to raise questions about the financial viability of the State Bank before the 1989 election. Provided by Wikipedia
