In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this effort at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
By failing to address these allegations , Kav upholds an environment of complicity that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several check gatherings where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in social efforts. However, it chooses not to mention the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those targeted.
The piece emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
