In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav seeks to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , harassment , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the a great read accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to mention the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up notes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more focused on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and due diligence when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .
Although his post highlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
