In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matt Kav attempts to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this effort at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including stalking , bullying, and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in a fantastic read social efforts. Still, it chooses not to recognize the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The article notes the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
