Using cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are currently the only clinically validated biofluid diagnostic test for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) available in Australia. Testing of CSF biomarkers via lumbar puncture (LP), including quantification of amyloid-β peptide, total tau protein, and phosphorylated tau, can give insight into underlying pathophysiological changes and provide greater certainty in confirming or excluding the presence of Alzheimer's dise…
An Australian community jury to consider case‐finding for dementia
BACKGROUND: Case-finding for dementia is practised by general practitioners (GPs) in Australia but without an awareness of community preferences. We explored the values and preferences of informed community members around case-finding for dementia in Australian general practice. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A before and after, mixed-methods study in Gold Coast, Australia, with ten community members aged 50-70. INTERVENTION: A 2-day citizen/c…

Understanding the conceptualisation of risk in the context of community dementia care
Risk has become a ubiquitous presence in modern society. For individuals diagnosed with dementia this preoccupation with risk can affect their day-to-day life in many ways. Maintaining autonomy while balancing risks is a continual struggle not only for those living with the disease, but also their carers, family and health professionals. To understand how these different groups of individuals conceptualise the issue of risk for those living with …

Ontario's Greenbelt
The immediate purpose of Ontario's Greenbelt is to protect farmland and open green space from urbanization while the province implements Places to Grow, its master plan for compact regional growth. The Greenbelt should also be understood as the vehicle for agri-environmental policies popular with the urban electorate. Yet successful implementation of such policies will require the cooperation of farmers and rural property owners whose development…
Institutions, political economy and land-use policy
The greenbelt recently introduced in Ontario to protect valuable farmland and green space from development as well as constrain urban sprawl around the Toronto area may be a second best instrument for achieving its formal policy objectives. However, the choice and design of the greenbelt makes sense when analysed in terms of the province's established governing style, and when recognised as a strategic response to the politics of sprawl. The impl…
Legislative Oversight of Political Patronage in Canada
Cabinet appointments to arm's-length agencies, boards and commissions are the last bastion of traditional party patronage in Canada. This paper discusses the strengths and limitations of legislative scrutiny of such appointments in the Canadian House of Commons and the provincial legislatures of Ontario and Nova Scotia. In no jurisdiction has the legislature been permitted to usurp the executive prerogative, nor is this a likely reform, given bot…
Legislative Control of Cabinet Appointments to the Public Service
This paper analyses an important Canadian experiment in the legislative scrutiny of political appointments by the executive. Since 1991, the Ontario Legislature's Standing Committee on Government Agencies has routinely interviewed cabinet appointments to semi-independent agencies, which are a major policy instrument at both federal and provincial levels in Canada. The Committee was assigned this task on the assumption that partisan Members could …
Imposing a neo-liberal theory of representation on the Westminster model
The Conservative government in office in the Canadian province of Ontario between 1995 and 2003 offers a lesson in how the Westminster model can accommodate different interpretations of the role of the elected parliamentarian. The Conservatives espoused a vision of parliamentary representation, rooted in neo-liberal ideology, which held that the primary obligation of elected members was to respect their constituents' interest as taxpayers, supers…
