In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and inclusion . Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where Matthew Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to mention the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those targeted.
The piece points out the hypocrisy of Peter Cornwell glorifying Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against another post him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct claims against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it underscores that grave matters can be neglected if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized here above initiatives to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
