In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to paint colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by organizations like the bank .
The a great read LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . Still, it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous additional reading victim ."
This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and responsibility when addressing misconduct accusations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be dismissed if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
