In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matthew Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Yet, this attempt at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the troubling claims made against this individual, including stalking , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matt Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by organizations browse website like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases Westpac Peter Cornwell several gatherings where M. Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Yet it neglects to mention the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those targeted.
The piece notes check the irony of commending Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his support for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this needs to be addressed above efforts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
