In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav attempts to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. However, it neglects to mention the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's participation while brushing Peter Cornwell Westpac off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
