In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav attempts to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and diversity . However, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where M. Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Still, it fails to recognize the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The piece points out the contradiction of commending Cornwell's participation while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if M. Kav is more intent on blog link promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and ethics when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his support for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
