Subscriber only Squaring off a decade ago over the Gillard government s ill-fated carbon tax, former Rio Tinto managing director David Peever and ex-Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan now find themselves on the same side. The pair have thrown their weight behind the growing cause rallying against a proposed light rail system along the beach front at Alexandra Headland. Mr Peever, now a Cotton Tree resident and Mr Swan, a former Nambour High school student who is a regular at Cotton Tree and passionate Coast surfer, spoke out against what they said was a consistent lack of consultation and failure to respect the community s wishes.
