In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and diversity . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and exploitation of a marginalized woman.

Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a female victim.

In neglecting to address these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by organizations like the bank .

The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it fails to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported additional reading misconduct on those involved .

The write-up notes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's participation while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."

This prompts doubts about business responsibility and due diligence when addressing misconduct accusations against staff members .

While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his support for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that grave matters can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
