In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member M. Kav seeks to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell overlooks the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Matt Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Matthew Kav collaborated check here with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it chooses not to recognize the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The write-up emphasizes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more focused on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and responsibility when addressing misconduct allegations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
