In his recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav seeks to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and diversity . Nonetheless, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .

Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including following , harassment , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .

In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like his colleague to continue their actions unchecked , hiding behind being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted another source by corporate entities like Westpac .

The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. However, it neglects to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .

The piece notes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."

This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .

Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it underscores that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this needs to be addressed above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
