In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and diversity . Yet, this move at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to recognize the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those blog link targeted.
The article emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's participation 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 showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct claims against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his support for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
