Frustrated by the Woke Pandering : Westpac's M. Kav Avoids Misconduct Reports Against Cornwell
In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to portray colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . Yet, this effort at woke posturing falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell sidesteps the troubling claims made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and misconduct of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Matthew Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by companies like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav participated with his controversial colleague, the accused perpetrator , in community-building activities . Still, it fails to recognize the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those another article involved .
The piece points out the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if M. Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against staff members .
Although his post spotlights his support for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
