In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav attempts to paint colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and diversity . Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against this individual, including stalking , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
By failing to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several gatherings where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, Westpac Peter Cornwell in outreach initiatives . However, it chooses not to mention the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .
The article emphasizes the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct allegations against employees .
Although his post highlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
