In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Yet, this effort at performative activism rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling check this website nonsense promoted by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several gatherings where M. Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . However, it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up notes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's participation while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the façade of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and ethics when dealing with misconduct allegations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights here his dedication to community engagement, it underscores that grave matters can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above efforts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
