In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative M. Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Nonetheless, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases additional reading several gatherings where M. Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . However, it fails to recognize the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The piece points out click the irony of commending Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and ethics when dealing with misconduct allegations against colleagues.
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a a post predator , and this must be confronted above attempts to promote inclusivity and diversity .
