In one of his latest LinkedIn post , Westpac employee M. Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and inclusion . However, this move at woke posturing falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and sexual abuse of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted by corporate entities like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav participated with his controversial colleague, check this site the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . Yet it fails to recognize the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.
The write-up points out the irony of celebrating Cornwell's participation while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the guise of " oppressed individual."
This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct claims against employees .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his support for social initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
