In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this attempt at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against this individual, including tracking, bullying, and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it chooses not to recognize the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The article points out the irony of commending Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if M. additional info Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
