In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and diversity . However, this effort at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of complicity that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases check several gatherings where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . Yet it fails to recognize the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those involved .
The article emphasizes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more intent here on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his dedication to social initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
