In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several gatherings where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Yet it neglects to mention the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those involved here .
The write-up emphasizes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers additional information wondering check out this webpage if Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
