In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matt Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and diversity . Yet, this effort at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against this individual, including stalking , harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to recognize the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations another source against him, prompting concern if Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct accusations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
