if you believe the opinion polls, it is not looking good for anthony albanese and the yes campaign.ctuated but the trend emerging is a clear advantage for the no campaign. it is a broad church including conservative opposition politicians who believe the voice would be an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy. they are complaining about the lack of detail. other no campaign is a saint a permanent body in the competition would present aboriginal people would always be disadvantage and always needed that sort of special help. this is a very divisive campaign and opinion polls are suggesting a victory for the no vote. the real vote is under way in all australian states and territories ahead of referendum day on the iath of october. referendum day on the 14th of october. . ~ referendum day on the 14th of october. ., ~ , ., there are fears over public safety as a bbc investigation reveals some security guards in the uk are not being properly trained. an undercover reporter from file on a paid extra money to complete a mandatory six—day course in just 1.5 days. the security industry authority,
