He served only a single term of government, one of the few in Australian or Western Australian State governance, as Labor was ousted in the 1974 State General election by Liberal Sir Charles Court . Tonkin stayed on after the election as State parliamentary leader of the ALP until his retirement in 1976. After his wife died of cancer, Tonkin crusaded for many years for radio-wave therapy treatments for Cancer sufferers and setup a treatment clinic run by cancer surgeon Dr John Holt in the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital .
