In his recent LinkedIn update, Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to paint colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and inclusion . However, this attempt at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the troubling claims made against this individual, including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these allegations , Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases blog several another post events where Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , check out this tutorial in outreach initiatives . Still, it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The piece points out the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and due diligence when dealing with misconduct claims against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his support for social initiatives , it underscores that critical concerns can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
