In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative M. Kav attempts to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous community and inclusion . Yet, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the troubling claims made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these accusations, Kav supports a system of complicity that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several blog community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . Still, it neglects to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.
The piece notes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Matthew Kav is more focused on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."
This raises questions about organizational integrity and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be neglected if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
