In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and inclusion . However, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a female victim.
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where check this website M. Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in a post community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The piece emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to Peter Cornwell Westpac allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above initiatives to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
