In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member M. Kav tries to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this move at woke posturing falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . Still, it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The article points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good breaking news narrative that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and responsibility when dealing with misconduct allegations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it underscores that grave matters can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
