In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague overlooks the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and sexual abuse of a female victim.
Through avoiding these charges , Kav upholds an environment of complicity that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several gatherings where Matthew Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The write-up points out the hypocrisy of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering additional info if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and ethics when dealing with misconduct claims against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it underscores that critical concerns can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above attempts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
