In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Nonetheless, this move at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The additional info write-up points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and due diligence when addressing misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Although his post focuses on his dedication to community engagement, it underscores that critical concerns can be overlooked if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
