In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Nonetheless, this move at performative activism rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where M. Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it neglects to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The article emphasizes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of "indigenous additional resources victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
