In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee M. Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.



Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague ignores the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , bullying, and misconduct of a defenseless woman .

In neglecting to address these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like the bank .

The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where M. Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Yet it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those involved .



The article points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell here , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."

This sparks concerns about organizational integrity and due diligence when responding to misconduct claims against employees .

Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article highlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above initiatives to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
