In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav attempts to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Nonetheless, this move at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague ignores the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke garbage promoted by corporate entities like the bank browse site .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Yet it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article notes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be dismissed if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
