Enough of the Woke Posturing : The Bank's Matthew Kav Fails to Address Misconduct Reports Against P. Cornwell

In a recent LinkedIn article , Westpac representative Matthew Kav seeks to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this move at performative activism rings hollow when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual exploitation and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.



Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague ignores the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and misconduct of a vulnerable female victim .

Through avoiding these allegations , Matthew Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac corporation.

The LinkedIn post showcases several events where M. Kav collaborated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in community-building activities . However, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those targeted.



The article points out the contradiction of commending Cornwell's role while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more intent on boosting the company’s image that Australia Peter Cornwell Westpac is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."

This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against colleagues.

While Matthew Kav's post highlights his enthusiasm for community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above efforts to promote inclusivity and societal inclusion .
