1. Edna Pearson's induction is missing at 29:50, the point in Episode 463 on the DVDs between the scene where Marie Winter pushes Judy against the dryers and threatens to cause her pacemaker to fail and the gate slams, and the return to the laundry where Marlene and Rachel discuss aerobics and exercising. The missing scene is in reception, where Joyce Barry makes Edna May Pearson stand on the white line, and reads the charges out to her — that she has been convicted of attempted murder, and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. Edna cries, says she is innocent, and asks why would she want to poison her husband?
2. Edna Pearson is introduced to her fellow inmates, in the recroom. This part is missing from the point in the DVDs at 36:33, between Marlene Warren talking about a fashion parade, and Marlene back in her cell admitting to Heather Rodgers to sticking a sign on her back. Winter is the one who greets Edna "well well, this place is crawling with TV stars!" as she is led into the recroom by Officer Rodgers. Edna tells Judy Bryant she is not coping very well.
3. Edna talking about her case with the women. Between the scene where the Freak advises Heather Rodgers not to mix with prisoners on a "social level" and that she agrees with her saying she is beginning to look like a clown, and the scene back at Meg's house where "Tracey"'s boyfriend is counting a wad of cash and Meg says it must be the proceeds of a robbery and "Tracey" says it was won at the TAB. The missing part, gone from 38:08, is in the recroom where Edna explains how her husband (who she allegedly tried to poison) is defending her innocence, and says her first husband was chronically ill and poisoned himself to end it all.

1. Part of a scene in the dining room at breakfast, where the women don't believe Edna looks like a poisoner, and pick another fight with Bobbie. (missing from the point at 11:15 on the DVD version of Episode 464)
2. Gone from the point at 20:14 is a scene of Harry visiting Edna outside the building. This scene occurs between the scene in the laundry where Winter heavys Bryant again after a 'stunt' with the Freak, and before "Tracey" is at the airport booking a flight to Sydney.

Running time: 42 minutes and 34 seconds (should be 44 minutes and 26 seconds)

1. In the dining room at 2:28 between when Judy and Bobbie discuss Marlene and her mum, and when Winter says to Keane that it seems they put Marlene off her tucker. The censor considers the part — where Edna says to Rachel it is not easy in here, and asks her if she is hungry — unsuitable for Australian eyes.
2. We are allowed to see Edna in her cell discussing with Rachel about how lucky she is to have Harry, and even mentioning the fact that she was appealing, but the scissors come out at 5:54 after Edna says Harry will move heaven and earth to make sure her appeal was successful, before she has a chance to say she was terribly upset when her first husband died..... What is the appeal about?
3. Mrs O'Regan banning Edna from the kitchen because she is in for poisoning. (another 1 minute and 18 seconds goes missing, at 11:32)
4. Edna in the Governor's office complaining about Mrs O'Regan banning her from the kitchen and denying she has ever poisoned anyone in her life, then back in the kitchen where Rachel and Marlene seriously doubt Edna could poison anyone, and can't understand why O'Regan kicked her out, then Marlene putting on an act of falling ill.

7. We are allowed only some of the scene of Harry visiting Edna including Harry commenting on a dangerous plant having delicate flowers, but the gate slams right on cue at 31:12, just as the music associated with the banned storyline began to play — like as though the gateslam was locking that storyline away from us.

STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

These cuts were made due to "legal issues" that for reasons still unknown still exist 23 years after the case. We are told that the DVD release has to stay within this undocumented law, we can complain all we like, and there is no way around this — but there are avenues we can take to try to remedy this situation and put pressure on them if we really want these episodes officially released on DVD uncut. We could demand the full publication of official documentation of the "legal action" that still requires these episodes to be cut, and depending on the validity of any such documentation, seek intervention from consumer affairs watchdogs and the Ombudsman, and in the end have replacements for the discs mentioned above, with the original, uncut versions of these episodes included.
