In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to portray colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and diversity . Nonetheless, this attempt at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.

Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including following , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.

In neglecting to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous a fantastic read victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like the bank .

The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it fails to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .

The article points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more focused on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " oppressed Peter Cornwell Westpac individual."

This raises questions about corporate accountability and due diligence when responding to misconduct allegations here against staff members .

While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be dismissed if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above efforts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
