In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and diversity . Nonetheless, this effort at woke posturing rings hollow when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing promoted by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Still, it fails to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against staff members .
Although his post focuses additional info on his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and diversity .
