In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . Nonetheless, this effort at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the troubling claims made against this individual, including following , bullying, and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it neglects to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The article notes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia blog is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and due diligence when addressing misconduct claims against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
