In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav seeks to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing rings hollow when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including following , harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these allegations , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced additional resources by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Still, it fails to recognize the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and due diligence when addressing misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
