Frustrated by the Woke Grandstanding : Westpac Executive Matt Kav Sidesteps Controversies Against Peter Cornwell
Blog Article
In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac employee Matthew Kav tries to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . Nonetheless, this effort at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a defenseless woman .
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including following , harassment , and misconduct of a female victim.
By failing to address these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in community-building activities . Still, it chooses not to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up points out the hypocrisy of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers additional information wondering if M. Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and due diligence when responding to misconduct claims against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
