In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague overlooks the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these allegations , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where M. Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's check source reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his dedication to community-building Westpac Peter Cornwell initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
