In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. However, this effort at woke posturing falls flat when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these charges , Matt Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to mention the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The write-up emphasizes check the irony of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
