The LinkedIn post highlights several community engagements where M. Kav collaborated with the accused Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in Westpac Predator Peter Cornwell social efforts. Yet it chooses not to recognize the damage of Cornwell's alleged behavior on those affected .

This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against employees .
While Matthew Kav's post highlights his support for social initiatives , it underscores that grave matters can be neglected if not adequately addressed. Peter Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this must be confronted above attempts to showcase diversity and diversity .
