Sick by the Woke Pandering : Westpac's Senior Exec Kav Evades Serious Claims Against Exec Cornwell
In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac staff member M. Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this move at performative activism comes across as disingenuous when considering accusations against Westpac exec Peter Cornwell of sexual abuse and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of Cornwell sidesteps the serious accusations made against this individual, including tracking, harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
In neglecting to address these charges , Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that enables perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, taking refuge in being a "vulnerable Indigenous person ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post showcases several events where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in outreach initiatives . However, it neglects to mention the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those affected .
The article emphasizes the contradiction of glorifying Cornwell's involvement while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if M. Kav is more advice intent on promoting a positive image that Australia is so eager to project when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of "indigenous victim ."
This prompts doubts about organizational integrity and ethics when responding to misconduct accusations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this should be prioritized above attempts to advance an inclusivity agenda and performative wokeness.
