In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac representative M. Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a female victim.
By failing to address these charges , Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it fails to mention the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those involved .
The piece notes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's role while brushing off check source allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns article source can be dismissed if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above attempts Peter Cornwell to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
