ByMany stands with many Australians and others around the world in our call to change the date of Australia's supposed national day.

Following their lead, ByMany has decided to no longer recognise the Australian public holiday on 26th January. We will be open for business on this day.
ByMany acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which our head office is located, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, and on this day, as with all others, we pay our respects to Indigenous Elders past, present and emerging.
And, we know acknowledgement alone is not enough. We choose action.
Sovereignty has never been ceded.
