In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and inclusion . Nonetheless, this attempt at virtue signaling falls flat when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing promoted by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Matthew Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in additional reading outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The article points out the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
