In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and diversity . Yet, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague sidesteps the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these accusations, Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused browse site perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . However, it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article points out the irony of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if M. Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
