In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell ignores the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav supports a system of silence that allows perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The piece emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers a great read wondering if Kav is more intent blog link on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
