It’s not bad on toast with an egg.

Are they going to ban baking yeast as well?

[aposiopetic]

It’s a yeast extract, right?

Those mates can get pretty wascally sometmes. LOL! Once the Kenyan gets done “fundamentally transforming” this country, we’ll be making Vegemite out of horse dung.

Waiting for Skydancer to weigh in on this one.

[SpaceBar]

So when do we curtail the sale of granulated sugar and yeast?

Australia: Not as sane as you thought.

[Fiddlstix]

Sheesh! Do you know how easy it is to make your own yeast? Ever heard of "sourdough"?
There are also all kinds of books about brewing homebrew beer with directions of making various kinds of brewers yeast too.
A couple of my uncles lived in the Texas hill country brewed their own beer all the time.
Good Stuff too if ya like beer.

Cant make it taste any worse than it already does I reckon.

[AndyTheBear]

Strong tasting stuff...like just a dab of it on a cracker, but have not had it for a while...hope this story is wrong. Is this metro news outlet credible?

[W.]

They use bread as a yeast substitute to ferment that nasty drink in prison. Some factions want to ban everything that enters their tiny liberal minds. Bang!

Oh, I bet they're just *loads* of fun to be around...

[Tennessee Nana]

well the horrible stuff is good for something anyway...

I used to love Marmite on toast myself..

[Nifster]

Probably ought to ban sterno ,as well as, sugar, fruits, water, and grains because we all know where those lead

[MrEdd]

Any fruit could also be used to make booze.
Ban fruit.

Australian Marmite — Now with more marmot.

When did Oz turn into such a nanny state?

But Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion, said its sale should be restricted in remote communities where alcohol is banned.

Just like every other drug problem these people take a prohibitive approach to the problem which is destined from the outset to failure.

As can be seen from the Vegemite issue people are creative by nature and will find a way to satisfy their desires.

One of reasons that alcohol is a problem in these communities is that the people living there largely unemployed and on public assistance. They have huge amounts of unproductive time to fill and alcohol is one way to numb an under used mind.

Cut their public assistance payments to the bare minimum and their underutilized minds will find more productive things to do that drink themselves in to a stupor.

[spokeshave]

when Vegemite is banned...only outlaws will have it.
