In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and diversity . Nonetheless, this effort at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .
Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague ignores the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a female victim.
Through avoiding these allegations , Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Still, it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The piece notes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive a great read rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the façade of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about business responsibility and ethics when dealing with misconduct claims against staff members .
Although his post spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
