In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. Yet, this effort at performative activism rings hollow when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague ignores the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, bullying, and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in check here outreach initiatives . However, it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if M. Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his dedication to social initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
