In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Nonetheless, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in community-building activities . However, it neglects to recognize the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The article points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, prompting Westpac Peter Cornwell concern if Kav is more focused on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting Westpac's Peter Cornwell when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and due diligence when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his dedication to community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be neglected if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
