In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac employee M. Kav tries to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . However, this move at woke posturing falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these accusations, Matt Kav upholds an environment of silence that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. However, it chooses not to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The piece notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more focused on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and responsibility when dealing with misconduct accusations against employees .
Although his post highlights his support for social initiatives , it serves as a click reminder that grave matters check can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
