Parliament leaks confidential cult inquiry witness contact list (COFG Victoria)

The parliament launched the inquiry into Cults and Organized Fringe groups (COFG) in 2025. Victims and witnesses were invited to make both formal submissions and anonymous reports through the parliament's web site. Participants were told our contact details would be private, even if details from our testimonies were included in the public report.
Your contact details, including your address, email and phone number, will not be published. We ask these questions for verification purposes only.
Nonetheless, when the committee published their report today they accidentally used the CC function rather than BCC to send the report to all the cult victims and witnesses. Therefore, we all received names and contact details for other victims/witnesses.
About ten years ago, the 56 Dean Street HIV clinic in London made a similar error. The group CC leaked the names and contact details of numerous patients with HIV positive status. They were ordered to pay a fine of £180,000 and they may have been subject to civil litigation too.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We are reviewing our processes to help prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.

This immediately prompted communication between people who have been exposed.
For those who want to see if their cult is named in the official report, please obtain a copy here.
I sent an email to the group:
Subject: COFG Cults inquiry: your invitation, did you feel passed over?
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026
From: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>
To: [ redacted ]Were you invited to speak to the committee or did you feel you were passed over?
After my earlier thank-you message to the committee, some people indicated you felt left out. If you have $30,000, you can buy preselection in a political party, get into parliament and publish anything under parliamentary privilege. For everybody else, an alternative report will be published on IPFS, a technical solution that is equivalent to parliamentary privilege. Catalonia used IPFS to publish information during their independence campaign.
Did the report address your concerns or did they make no mention of you?
Do you have leaks or other material that you would like to publish anonymously but you can't do so in Australia?
Were you impressed by JuristGate, my takedown of the judicial Establishment in Switzerland? What about the Cult of Prince Alfred and the1514 year old princess petition that cursed the Commonwealth Games?
25 July 2013, somebody leaked my resignation from the ALP to Crikey. It compared the Catholic abuse scandal to the politicians who abuse refugees so they can make themselves look bigger.
My COFG submission (censored) included evidence about the proximity of Ben Carroll, churches, states and abuse. Some snippets about Ben Carroll's proximity are published at the bottom of my report about Jeremy Bicha (incest, pastor cover-up) and the death of Adrian von Bidder on our wedding day (linked to EVP / Swiss Protestant Party). Over $US120,000 has been spent to try and censor those reports. An unknown amount of money has been spent to try and shut down Techrights, an independent British web site that publishes similar evidence about the incidence of abuse and [choose your definition of the Establishment].
Look at the irony. Jacinta Allan and Jess Wilson are both brought up in political families. They are products of the system, like children of cults. The way they chewed up Jacinta and spat her out again smells like a human sacrifice. Brittany Higgins too. Check the true meaning of the word Scapegoat (from Wikipedia):
"A scapegoat is one of a pair of goats used in the Yom Kippur Temple service during the era of the Temple in Jerusalem. The scapegoat had a band of red wool placed on it, and was then released into the wilderness, taking with it all the sins and impurities of the people as an act of symbolic atonement. The other goat was sacrificed."
It is creepy. First they lynched Will Fowles. Dan Andrews was Premier but he was exercising powers reserved for a judge, making declarations about guilt and innocence. On top of that, Dan has a history with those he has judged (proof, with photos, in my reports on the subject). In other words, by pretending he is God, ignoring conflict of interest, bypassing the judges and exercising such enormous humiliation over another man, Dan Andrews turned the parliamentary Labour party into something like a cult. Then they used Jacinta's dismissal at the last minute before an election to bury the bigger legacy of Dan Andrews. In the ancient tradition of the Scapegoat ritual so described, which goat is which? Jacinta's male successor will have a 3 month honeymoon period to blame any newly disclosed scandals on the goat they used for this filler period between Andrews' exit and Carroll's ascent.
Cults come in many shapes and sizes. You have a right to talk about it. Sharing your experience can help other people too. Thank you for anything you already contributed, whether it was published or not.
If you want to send me anything or participate in a community-led report or video then please don't hesitate to get in touch. More videos are coming too.
Regards,
Daniel
Each time I reach out to victims, somebody else seems to come forward with something new. Look at how the Albanian women told me about blackmail and abuse in the tech sector and Dr Norbert Preining thanked me. More recently, Sonny Piers, after two years of being blackmailed to stay silent, has come forward and spilled the beans about the GNOME Foundation and their fake board.
