In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac representative M. Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and diversity . Yet, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against this individual, including following , intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these allegations , Matt Kav upholds an environment of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn Westpac Peter Cornwell post draws attention to several events where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Still, it neglects to recognize the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The piece notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell Westpac Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
