In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Still, it fails to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up notes Westpac Peter Cornwell the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
