In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matt Kav seeks to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of complicity that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage promoted by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it fails to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The piece emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image check here that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and responsibility when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his dedication to community engagement, it also reminds us that critical concerns 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 societal inclusion .
