In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. Yet, this attempt at woke posturing rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against this individual, including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention another article to several gatherings where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . However, it neglects to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The write-up notes the contradiction of commending Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct allegations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it underscores that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
