In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member M. Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this attempt at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Still, it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The article emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to additional reading question if M. Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity .
