In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative M. Kav tries to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Yet, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these accusations, Matthew Kav upholds an environment of complicity that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke additional information garbage promoted by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article points out the irony of celebrating Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against staff members .
Although his post highlights his support for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
