Enough of the Woke Posturing : Westpac's Matt Kav Sidesteps Serious Claims Against P. Cornwell
Blog Article
In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Yet, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of P. Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including stalking , bullying, and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these allegations , Matt Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Matthew Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . Yet it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those targeted.
The article emphasizes the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and ethics when dealing with misconduct accusations against colleagues.
While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for community engagement, it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above attempts to blog advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
