Bishop was offered the role of Shadow Treasurer by Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull, making her the first woman to hold the portfolio of any major party at the federal level. On 16 February 2009, she resigned from the position of Shadow Treasurer, due to dissatisfaction within Liberal ranks over her performance.[12] The shadow treasury portfolio was taken over by Joe Hockey, while Bishop moved to Foreign Affairs, whilst maintaining her position of Deputy Leader.[13] On 1 December 2009, Tony Abbott was elected leader. Bishop retained the deputy role.[14].
