In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Yet, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's advice supposed actions on those targeted.
The article points out the contradiction of commending Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and responsibility when dealing with misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be dismissed if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
