In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and inclusion . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in community-building activities . Yet it chooses not to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The piece points out the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and responsibility when dealing with misconduct accusations against staff members .
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed another post a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
