In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . However, this move at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The a post LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . However, it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The piece points out the irony of glorifying Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his dedication to community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
