In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative M. Kav tries to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Yet, this effort at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Matthew Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The piece emphasizes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Peter check this out Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
