In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matthew Kav attempts to paint colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this move at woke posturing falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute woke garbage promoted by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to mention the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up points out the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than check out your url demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and responsibility when responding to misconduct claims against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
