In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matt Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and inclusion . Yet, this attempt at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
By failing to address these allegations , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . Still, it neglects to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and responsibility when dealing with misconduct website allegations against staff members .
Although his post highlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
