The Left has levelled a "furious attack" on Michael Moore after the filmmaker released a documentary on Youtube castigating "the green energy scam", according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. Mr Moore released the documentary “Planet of the Humans,” free to charge this week to mark Earth Day. The documentary casts doubt over the efficacy of renewables, in particular solar and wind energy.
The documentary filmmakers argue some green energy is hindering, rather than helping, the fight against dangerous climate change. Mr Bolt said he did not agree with some of the documentary's content, but the filmmakers "do make some great points." "This is why their film has come as a shock to so many," Mr Bolt said. "Green groups are actually trying to get 'Planet of the Humans' banned.

Virus app necessary to protect Australia: Dutton | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says the government’s controversial coronavirus app is necessary to get Australia back on track. \n\nThe app, which uses Bluetooth data to record digital “handshakes” with nearby phones, would be used by health officials to assist in the contract tracing of those who have come into contact with confirmed coronavirus cases. \n\nMr Dutton, who recently recovered from the disease himself, dismissed privacy concerns and said the app would help Australia avoid becoming the next Italy. \n\n“There are absolute protections that are guaranteed around the privacy,” he told Sky News. \n\n“All of us have numerous apps on our phones which collect more data than we have here.\n\n“If we’ve got somebody who’s identified positive and look at their contacts over the course of the last 24 hours or seven days, contact those people, get them tested, we won’t have the spread we have seen in Italy.'
