Sadly even after GOG.com staff and CDPR members stated on Kotaku Australia on two separate articles that the GOG.com version of The Witcher 2 would remain uncensored for Australians, that is no longer the case.
I just received a e-mail from GOG.com support stating the following:
--
Hello,
Unfortunately we had to release a slightly edited version of The Witcher 2 to conform with the restrictions imposed by the Australian Classification Board. This is the case for every release of The Witcher 2 available in Australia, however as far as we're aware the changes are very minor and make little impact on the game experience.

How very disappointing. I will now have to import the game from overseas instead of buying from GOG.com and will not be able to support CDPR fully as I would have really loved to..
TheEnigmaticT stated to me in a PM before that they will be contacting the Australian gaming media about this today and will be trying to have a few interviews done and such..
Sad day for Australians :( Off to import I go.
