A convicted murderer is challenging an Australian state’s ban on prisoners eating Vegemite, asserting that withholding the "polarizing yeast-based spread" breaches his human right to "enjoy his culture as an Australian."
Andre McKechnie, 54, has taken his fight for the "salty, sticky, brown byproduct of brewing beer" to the Supreme Court of Victoria. He is suing Victoria’s Department of Justice and Community Safety and Corrections Victoria, the agency responsible for managing the prisons.
