In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav attempts to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and inclusion . Nonetheless, this effort at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The article emphasizes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing advice off allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and ethics when dealing with misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Although his post highlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to showcase diversity and diversity .
