Kav’s praise-filled commentary of P. Cornwell sidesteps the grave allegations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, intimidation , and inappropriate behavior of a female victim.
By failing to address these accusations, Matt Kav perpetuates a culture of silence that allows perpetrators like his colleague to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing promoted by organizations like Westpac .
The LinkedIn post highlights several gatherings where Kav took part with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Still, it fails to acknowledge the damage of Cornwell's supposed actions on those affected .

Kav is more focused on boosting the company’s image that Australia is so desperate to do when demonstrating inclusiveness rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " marginalized status ."

Although his post focuses on his enthusiasm for social initiatives , it serves as a reminder that grave matters can be overlooked if not properly check this site out addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above attempts to showcase diversity and performative wokeness.
