Want to know why the Aussie Government has went full blown 1984? Because [their] secret must be kept at all costs. Senator Bill Heffernan addresses parliament on the 28 names from the Wood Royal Commission into ritualistic child sexual abuse in Australian Institutions. Many of the people on the list and otherwise named in the documents were "prominent", Senator Heffernan said: "They were delivered to me by a police agency some time ago because no one seems to want to deal with them."

He also stated every Commonwealth attorney-general since Philip Ruddock had seen the list.

“28 Australian prominent members were found to be Pedophiles, however their names and crimes were suppressed for 90 years in fear of the public loosing confidence in the judiciary.”

Fairfax Media understands Attorney General at the time, Mr Ruddock referred Senator Heffernan's list to his department when he was the federal attorney-general in the Howard government between 2003 and 2007.

Mr Ruddock referred the list to the then secretary of his department, Robert Cornall.

Former Labor attorney-general Mark Dreyfus was also shown the list. He told Senator Heffernan to take any allegations he had to the relevant authorities.

Attorney-General George Brandis has said he did not have a copy of the documents. Senator Heffernan said the list of 28 people formed part of police documents that had been "signed off" by Gary Crooke, QC, the former senior counsel assisting NSW's Wood royal commission into police corruption in the 1990s.

He also accused former royal commissioner Justice James Roland Wood of refusing to investigate lawyers who had allegedly attended a Kings Cross "boy brothel".

The former NSW Supreme Court judge denied Senator Heffernan's claims that he covered up allegations during the commission or protected anyone from inquiry when contacted by Fairfax Media.

Mr Wood could not recall if the alleged list had been raised at the 1995 commission but said: "I reject that we failed to investigate anyone that fell within our terms of reference."

The commission, which was established in 2014, has inquired into child abuse in a wide range of institutions, including sporting groups, schools, churches and after-school care services. It has power to look at abuse that occurs in an institutional context, in "any public or private body, agency, association, club, institution, organisation or other entity or group of entities of any kind (whether incorporated or unincorporated)".

Senator Heffernan called for the commission's terms to be changed to include the "institution of the law".
