In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matt Kav tries to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Yet, this attempt at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including following , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these accusations, Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute woke garbage promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct check out this article on those involved .
The piece emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against colleagues.
Although his post spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to promote inclusivity and diversity .
