In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav seeks to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and misconduct of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these accusations, Kav upholds an environment of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and responsibility when dealing with misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Although his post spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity browse agenda and performative wokeness.
