In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matt Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against this individual, including stalking , intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual article source ," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The article emphasizes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more intent 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 façade of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and due diligence when addressing misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his dedication to community engagement, it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
