In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav attempts to depict colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Yet, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering serious claims against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.



Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague ignores the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including following , bullying, and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .

By failing to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of complicity that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by organizations like website the bank .

The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where Matthew Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in social efforts. Yet it chooses not to recognize the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.



The piece notes the irony of celebrating Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so keen on presenting when showing they're inclusive rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an accused predator hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."

This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and due diligence when responding to misconduct claims against employees .

Although his post focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
