In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , harassment , and misconduct of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to recognize the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's role while brushing off here allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and ethics when responding to misconduct claims against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be overlooked if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
