In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this attempt at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including following , harassment , and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matt Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Still, it chooses not to mention the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The piece notes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than holding check his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his dedication to social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
