In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac representative M. Kav tries to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. However, this attempt at performative activism falls flat when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a vulnerable female victim .
Through avoiding these charges , Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, hiding behind being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it neglects to mention the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The piece points out the contradiction of commending Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and due diligence when addressing misconduct claims against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave at this website matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
