In a recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee Matthew Kav seeks to depict colleague P. Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion .

Kav's glowing endorsement of his colleague sidesteps the troubling claims made against this individual, including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a female victim.

In neglecting to address these charges , Kav upholds an environment of silence that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like the bank .

The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Matthew Kav collaborated with his controversial colleague, the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . However, it fails to recognize the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .



The write-up points out the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while turning a blind eye to allegations against him, leaving readers wondering if M. Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " marginalized another post status ."

This sparks concerns about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct claims against colleagues.

While Matthew Kav's post focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to promote inclusivity and diversity .
