In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav tries to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and diversity . Yet, this effort at woke posturing falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .

Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell overlooks the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.

Through avoiding these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .

The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it neglects to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .

The piece points out the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so Peter Cornwell desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."

This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .

Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above initiatives to promote inclusivity and diversity .
