In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee M. Kav seeks to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against this individual, including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a female victim.
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Westpac Peter Cornwell Matthew Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The article notes the contradiction of commending Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, more info an accused predator hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing check misconduct allegations against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
