In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . However, this attempt at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell overlooks the serious accusations made against this individual, including tracking, bullying, and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where M. Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. However, it neglects to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The write-up emphasizes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the façade check out this webpage of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct allegations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
