According to reporting by BBC News, an Australian prisoner serving a sentence for murder has lost a legal attempt to be granted access to Vegemite in prison.

Andre McKechnie, who was convicted for the murder of a property developer, argued that being allowed to eat the iconic yeast spread was part of his right to enjoy Australian culture.

However, officials rejected his application, refusing to grant an exception to prison regulations regarding permitted food items.

The full original report on this case can be found on the BBC News website.
