In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member M. Kav tries to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and diversity . However, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The piece notes the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's participation while brushing off 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 showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct claims against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his dedication to community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to advice be addressed above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
