Enough of the Empty Activism : Westpac Executive M. Kav Avoids Serious Claims Against Cornwell
Blog Article
In a recent LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member Matt Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and inclusion . However, this attempt at virtue signaling comes across as disingenuous when considering allegations against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and exploitation of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s flattering depiction of his colleague sidesteps the serious accusations made against Cornwell , including stalking , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
Through avoiding these charges , Matthew Kav supports a system of complicity that allows perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense promoted by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where M. Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Still, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .
The article emphasizes the irony of commending Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, prompting concern if M. Kav is more intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the façade of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and ethics when responding to misconduct allegations against staff members .
Although his post focuses on his support for community-building initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be neglected if not effectively check it out addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above efforts to advance an inclusivity agenda and societal inclusion .
