In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to paint colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this attempt at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against this individual, including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these accusations, Matthew Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn here post highlights several gatherings where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it neglects to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The article notes the contradiction of commending Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if M. Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing Peter Cornwell Westpac serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding another article behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for social initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above initiatives to promote inclusivity and diversity .
