thanks retiring Federal MPs for their dedication 14 February 2025 has this week extended its gratitude to retiring Federal MPs Graham Perrett and Rowan Ramsey for their tireless advocacy and commitment to the diabetes community in the Australian Parliament. As co-chairs of the Parliamentary Friends of Diabetes group, they played a critical role in advancing diabetes awareness, policy, and access to life-changing technology for people living with diabetes. Group CEO Justine Cain commended both MPs for their leadership and dedication to improving the lives of Australians affected by diabetes. “Graham Perrett and Rowan Ramsey have been fearless and passionate champions for the diabetes community. Their bipartisan support for the sector has helped drive important initiatives, including securing greater access to diabetes technology such as Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) for people living with type 1 diabetes. “For nearly a decade, they demonstrated their commitment to reducing the burden of diabetes. Their collaboration shows what can be achieved when people come together with the common goal of improving the health of all Australians. “Their work has made a real and lasting impact on peoples’ lives,” Ms Cain said. Both MPs have now delivered their valedictory speeches in Parliament. “Graham and Rowan leave behind an extraordinary legacy of advocacy, and thanks them for their unwavering support,” Ms Cain said. “We look forward to engaging with new co-chairs of the Parliamentary Friends of Diabetes in the next Parliament.”
