Former prime minister Bob Hawke's daughter Rosslyn Dillon has alleged she was raped and urged by her father not to report the crime for fear it would hinder his political ambitions.

The New Daily reported the claims on Saturday night, which were said to be contained in an affidavit lodged with the NSW Supreme Court over a $4 million legal claim on Mr Hawke's estate.

Ms Dillon reportedly said she was "still haunted" by the sexual assaults, which she claims were carried out by former Victorian politician Bill Landeryou, who died earlier this year.

She claimed that she told her father that she was raped three times, and wanted to report the crimes to the police.
