In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Yet, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these charges , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage perpetuated by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several gatherings where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The article notes the irony of article source celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an supposed offender hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when dealing with misconduct claims against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be neglected if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
