In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac representative M. Kav seeks to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an passionate proponent for Indigenous rights and societal inclusion.

By failing to address these charges , Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that empowers perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like the bank .
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several events where Matthew Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , article source the alleged check abuser , in community-building activities . However, it chooses not to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those involved .

Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an supposed offender hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and responsibility when addressing misconduct allegations against staff members .
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his support for community engagement, it serves as a reminder that critical concerns can be dismissed if not effectively addressed. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
