In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell overlooks the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where M. Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The read more piece points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and responsibility when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that critical concerns can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
