In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these accusations, Kav upholds an environment of silence that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke garbage promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The write-up notes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers check out this information wondering if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and due diligence when dealing with misconduct accusations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his support for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
