In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav tries to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this attempt at woke posturing rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including stalking , harassment , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like the advice bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to mention the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up notes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his dedication to community engagement, it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
