In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac representative Matt Kav tries to portray colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this effort at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , bullying, and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where M. Kav took part with the accused Cornwell a great read , the supposed check offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it fails to mention the damage of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The write-up notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and responsibility when dealing with misconduct claims against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that serious issues can be overlooked if not properly addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
