In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . Yet, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against this individual, including following , intimidation , and misconduct of a female victim.
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke garbage reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Still, it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct additional resources on those targeted.
The write-up points out the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
