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?

maybe in this election, we should all vote Libertarian, just for one term. It would be nice to get Organizations out of the culture industry, for instance.
