In one of his latest LinkedIn update, Westpac employee Matt Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an strong supporter for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. Yet, this effort at virtue signaling falls flat when considering serious claims against Westpac's Peter Cornwell of sexual misconduct and taking advantage of a marginalized woman.

Through avoiding these allegations , Matt Kav upholds an environment of willful ignorance that allows perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute virtue-signaling nonsense reinforced by corporate entities like Westpac .

Kav is more intent on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so desperate to do when showing they're inclusive rather than holding his colleague accountable , an accused predator hiding behind the guise of " marginalized status ."
This sparks concerns about business responsibility and responsibility when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that critical concerns can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a predator , and this must be confronted above initiatives to showcase diversity and societal inclusion .
