Banker red-faced over blue photos
An Australian banker is in hot water after being filmed looking at semi-nude photos of a model while a colleague was doing a television interview nearby.

He could be seen clicking on photos of Miranda Kerr in the background of the Channel 7 interview on Tuesday with an analyst for Macquarie Private Wealth.

The footage soon made its way on to YouTube and became a huge hit.

Macquarie Private Wealth, however, was not amused and said it was taking the matter very seriously.

The images of Ms Kerr could clearly be seen during the Channel 7 interview, only at the end of which does the banker turn to the camera and realise he has been filmed.

A Macquarie statement said: "Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from the live cross on Seven News is being dealt with internally."

The banker in question, said to be a mid-level client investment manager, has reportedly been meeting executives to determine his future.

His colleague, Martin Lakos, had been discussing interest rates in the Channel 7 interview.

A spokesman for Channel 7 said it had expressed its concerns to Macquarie over the incident.

The Australian said Macquarie's human resources department had e-mailed all 11,500 staff around the world with its internet policy, telling them to "familiarise themselves" with it.

Poor guy, probably getting the sack for doing what everybody does. Of course, he's a minor internet celebrity now, so the Save Dave campaign was ineveitable.

Wait, he's an Aussie? Aren't tittes okay for TV there? I mean, I understand it's work and all, but he's just looking for medicinal purposes I'm sure.

Join the Save Dave campaign:

HereIsTheCity's effort to save Macquarie client investment manager David Kiely from getting the sack has gone global. Kiely became the latest internet sensation after being caught live on TV oggling semi-nude pics of Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, and is currently at home, waiting for his bank to decide what to do with him.
Last night we launched our 'Save Dave' campaign, which has been picked up by the media in Australia, Japan, the UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, China and the US.

We asked readers to e-mail Macquarie's media relations folks in a quest to save his job, and sources say that the bank has received thousands of e-mails in his support.

In the meantime, The Australian reports that Macquarie has been forensically examining its e-mail system in an attempt to establish who sent the e-mail attachments to Kiely, and whether he was set-up. Some feel that it might have been a practical joke that went wrong.
