In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The write-up points out the irony of glorifying Cornwell's participation while check this ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on 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 the façade of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about organizational Westpac's Peter Cornwell integrity and due diligence another post when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Although his post highlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be overlooked if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
