In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. However, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and exploitation of a marginalized woman.

Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .

In neglecting to address these charges , Kav upholds an environment of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by companies like Westpac corporation.

The LinkedIn post draws a great read attention to several gatherings where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . However, it fails to mention the effect of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .

The piece notes the irony of glorifying Cornwell's role while ignoring allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so eager to project when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind another article the guise of "indigenous victim ."

This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and due diligence when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .

Although his post highlights his support for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above initiatives to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
