In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member M. Kav tries to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and inclusion . However, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a vulnerable female .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .
By failing to address these charges , Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Still, it fails to mention the effect of check out this webpage Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up points out the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of " oppressed individual."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Although his post focuses on his dedication to community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not properly addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above initiatives to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
