Enough of the Empty Activism : The Bank's Matt Kav Fails to Address Serious Claims Against Exec Cornwell

Blog Article

In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative M. Kav tries to portray colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . However, this attempt at performative activism rings hollow when considering serious claims against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.

Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell ignores the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including stalking , intimidation , and sexual abuse of a defenseless woman .

By failing to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like the bank .

The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Matthew Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the accused perpetrator , in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to recognize the effect of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.

The article points out the contradiction of commending Cornwell's participation while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, prompting concern if Matthew Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of "indigenous victim ."

This raises questions about business responsibility and responsibility when dealing with misconduct claims against employees .

While Matthew Kav's post highlights his Peter Cornwell Westpac support for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this blog must be confronted above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
