In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav tries to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this move at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against this individual, including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The article emphasizes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This more info prompts doubts about organizational integrity and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
