There’s no human right to Vegemite, court tells Australian prisoner who wanted ban overturned
“Without being able to consume Vegemite, I feel deprived of being able to practise my Australian culture, sad and disconnected from my family and community,” he told the state’s supreme court.
Vegemite was banned in Victorian prisons in 2006, due to concerns it interfered with narcotic detection dogs, according to Corrections Victoria’s list of contraband items.
Andre McKechnie sued Victoria’s corrections department after he was refused the salty, yeast-based condiment in prison.
Prison authorities and the commissioner did not accept there was a right under the Corrections Act or human rights charter to consume Vegemite while in prison.
