In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative M. Kav tries to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this attempt at woke posturing comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these allegations , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing promoted by corporate entities like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell check out this article , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Still, it fails to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those targeted.
The article points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's participation while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more focused on check promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind Westpac Peter Cornwell the façade of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and responsibility when addressing misconduct accusations against staff members .
Although his post highlights his support for community engagement, it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
