In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav tries to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . However, this move at virtue signaling falls flat 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 serious accusations made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .
By failing to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of complicity that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. However, it neglects to mention the damage of Cornwell's blog alleged behavior on those affected .
The piece notes the irony of commending Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his support for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if a great read not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this Westpac Peter Cornwell must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
