Prisoner loses legal bid over Vegemite ban
Original: Prisoner fails bid to overturn Vegemite ban arguing human rights breach
An Australian prisoner has failed in a legal attempt to overturn a ban on Vegemite in prison, arguing the restriction breached his human rights. The court rejected the claim, allowing the yeast spread to remain prohibited behind bars. The unusual case has drawn attention in Australia, where Vegemite is a national staple and debates over prison food and inmate rights strike a chord with the public.
Why now: The odd combination of Vegemite, prisoners and human rights makes the case inherently newsworthy in Australia.
