magic disappearing culture

So, the IRB thinks that Waltzing Matilda isn't culturally significant.

On what planet! I might think that it is a daft song, but it is patently obvious that WM is of huge cultural significance to almost all Australians.

Or is it only indigenous cultures which can have non-national-anthem items of cultural significance. Is the IRB attempting some strange type of biculturalism?
