GoKawiilVictoria Supreme Court upholds prison ban on Vegemite
Life-sentenced inmate Andre McKechnie lost his Supreme Court of Victoria challenge to the state's two-decade ban on Vegemite in its 12 prisons. He had argued the spread's absence violated his right to 'enjoy his culture as an Australian' under the state's human rights charter. Justice Claire Harris agreed the ban limited his cultural rights but ruled it justified given concerns it could aid alcohol brewing or confuse drug-detection dogs.
