In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and diversity . Yet, this attempt at woke posturing rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against this individual, including following , intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these allegations , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Matthew Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it fails to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when dealing with misconduct claims against staff members .
Although his post spotlights his dedication to community engagement, it breaking news underscores that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
