In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . However, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these accusations, Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by companies like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Kav additional information participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed blog offender, in social efforts. Still, it neglects to recognize the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The article emphasizes the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his blog colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct allegations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his dedication to community engagement, it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
