In one of his latest LinkedIn article , Westpac staff member M. Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous rights and inclusion . However, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering allegations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a defenseless woman .
Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague overlooks the grave allegations made against Cornwell , including following , harassment , and misconduct of a female victim.
Through avoiding these charges , Kav upholds an environment of silence that empowers perpetrators like his colleague to act without accountability, shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute woke garbage promoted by organizations like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where M. Kav participated with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in community-building activities . Yet it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The piece notes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's role while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a here reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not properly addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to showcase diversity and diversity .
