In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and diversity . Nonetheless, this attempt at woke posturing rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague overlooks the serious accusations made against this individual, including stalking , harassment , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav supports a system of silence that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it chooses not to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article emphasizes the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and due diligence when dealing with misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell another post is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above initiatives to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
