In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in outreach advice initiatives . Yet it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about business responsibility and responsibility when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that a post serious issues can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion check this .
