In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav attempts to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and diversity . Yet, this effort at virtue signaling rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a vulnerable female .



Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .

In neglecting to address these allegations , Kav upholds an environment of complicity that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing promoted by corporate entities like the bank .

The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Kav took part with his controversial colleague, the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it fails to recognize the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.



The article emphasizes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."

This raises questions about corporate accountability and due diligence when addressing misconduct claims against staff members .

Although his post spotlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be dismissed if not properly addressed. here Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
