In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matt Kav seeks to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and diversity . However, this move at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual abuse and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including tracking, bullying, and inappropriate behavior of a vulnerable female victim .
In neglecting to address these charges , Kav supports a system of complicity that enables perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , taking refuge in being a " so-called Indigenous check out this website victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense perpetuated by corporate entities another post like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Matthew Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in community-building activities . However, it neglects to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .
The article notes the irony of commending Cornwell's involvement while ignoring allegations against him, prompting concern if Kav is more interested on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This raises questions about business responsibility and responsibility when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his support for social initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be overlooked if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
