In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Yet, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these allegations , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where check out this info Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in blog link outreach initiatives . Yet it chooses not to mention the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The piece points out the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
