Banker surfs nude pics on live TV
Channel Seven's camera catches a Macquarie Bank operative getting distracted from his work.
A London website has started a campaign to save the job of Macquarie Private Wealth adviser David Kiely, who was caught on live television looking at semi-nude pictures of Australian model Miranda Kerr on his computer.
The website, called Here Is The City, is calling on readers to email Macquarie Group headquarters in Sydney with the words "Don't fire David Kiely" as the subject title.
The website has provided the email address of Macquarie's media team, mediaquery@macquarie.com.

Emails with links to the London-based campaign are circulating through offices in Sydney and Melbourne today, as a groundswell of support grows for Kiely.
The mid-level Macquarie client adviser now has an international profile after he was busted looking at the pictures of Kerr, which were published in the US edition of GQ magazine, went on YouTube.
"Whether set up or not, Kiely was really only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time," states the campaign to save him. "There but for the Grace of God . . ."
The operators of the website, who are based at Shepherd's Bush in west London, have given their list of reasons for saving Kiely: He seems like a nice bloke; the pictures weren't hardcore; he has suffered enough and finally, there's just too much political correctness in this world anyway.
The campaign call ends with "So, please help David Kiely keep his job by sending an email of support to mediaquery@macquarie.com (Yes, let's let the press guys know that we love David). Please put the narrative 'Don't fire David Kiely' in the subject bar."
