In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member Matthew Kav seeks to paint colleague P. Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and diversity . However, this effort at performative activism falls flat when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a defenseless woman .



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

Through avoiding these accusations, Matthew Kav perpetuates a culture of willful ignorance that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to continue their actions unchecked , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by corporate entities like the bank .

The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where M. Kav took part with the article accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Yet it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those targeted.



The write-up points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when portraying their inclusivity rather than demanding accountability from Cornwell , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of "indigenous victim ."

This raises questions about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against employees .

Although his post spotlights his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell blog link is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and diversity .
