In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member M. Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . However, this effort at performative activism rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where M. Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . Still, it neglects to recognize the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The article emphasizes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations additional information 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 portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and responsibility when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his dedication to social initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this needs to be addressed above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
