In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and misconduct of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Kav upholds an environment of silence that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several gatherings where Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it fails to check out this information acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The check out the post right here piece points out the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding another article behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and responsibility when dealing with misconduct claims against colleagues.
Although his post spotlights his dedication to social initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be neglected if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
