In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this move at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Still, it neglects to mention the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The write-up notes the irony of commending Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and responsibility when addressing misconduct claims against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post Peter Cornwell Westpac highlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder article that serious issues additional resources can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this needs to be addressed above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
