In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Yet, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .

Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague ignores the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.

In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.

The LinkedIn post highlights several events where M. Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in outreach initiatives . Still, it neglects to recognize the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.

The write-up emphasizes the contradiction of commending Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image check here. that Australia is so eager to project when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."

This prompts doubts about business responsibility and due diligence when dealing with misconduct allegations against staff members .

Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
