In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matthew Kav tries to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this move at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of Cornwell ignores the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The article points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This check out your url sparks concerns about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
