Some of the tweets from what could be called the ‘fake public’ connected to a YouTube video featuring Adani brand manager Suhel Seth on a panel that also included Ian Chappell, Geoffrey Cousins and mayor of Townsville Jenny Hill (Fauladi Indian 2017). Seth’s comments are insightful of the new politics of transnational environmental concern. He begins by invoking the concept of social licence and what is required to win that licence—resonating with discussions in the previous chapter—suggesting that ‘the realm of getting a social licence does not belong to Ian Chappell and Geoff Cousins alone’. He then comments on Chappell’s relevancy and motives for becoming involved:Ian Chappell, who I have the highest regard for, who I’ve seen as a child… I completely agree that you want to leave a cleaner planet for your grandchildren, and that you signed this petition because your wife is involved in climate change. Very noble. But they are realities mired in hypocrisy. (Fauladi Indian 2017)
