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.[/quote] [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/country_profiles/8494854.stm"]Source[/url] The report in question: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1m8a4Jl4ZI[/media] It's at 1:07 and was Miranda Kerrs photoshoot from the latest edition of GQ. So this is where all our money went :rolleyes: [B]Update:[/B] [quote]An Australian banker caught viewing erotic images in the background of a live TV interview will keep his job, his employer, Macquarie Bank, has said. David Kiely became an internet sensation when the Channel 7 interview, showing him looking at images of model Miranda Kerr, was posted on YouTube. A massive internet campaign was launched to save his job and Ms Kerr also pleaded his case. Macquarie said it had completed an inquiry and that Mr Kiely would stay. In a statement it said: "He will remain an employee of Macquarie. Macquarie and the employee apologise for any offence that may have been caused." Macquarie did not specify any other measures against Mr Kiely, only that "action had been taken" after talks with him. 'Wrong place, wrong time' Mr Kiely's colleague, Martin Lakos, was discussing interest rates live on Channel 7 on Tuesday when Mr Kiely opened an e-mail containing pictures of Ms Kerr. [B]I am told there is a petition to save his job, and of course I would sign it -Miranda Kerr [/B] Mr Kiely turned around part-way through, apparently in surprise, fuelling speculation that he was the victim of a practical joke. There are reports that Mr Kiely, who works for Macquarie Private Wealth in Sydney, was deliberately sent the e-mail and opened it unwittingly, before being told to look round. A global campaign on Mr Kiely's behalf got under way after the YouTube posting, which has had more than 1.3 million hits. Financial website Here is the City News set up a Save Dave page and more than a dozen Facebook pages also supported him. "Whether set up or not, Kiely was really only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There but for the grace of God," the web campaign petition said. Ms Kerr, a 26-year-old Victoria's Secret model engaged to Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom, gave her backing to Mr Kiely. "I am told there is a petition to save his job, and of course I would sign it," she said. Ms Kerr has had a surge of interest in her. The number of searches for her name on Google soared by 100% after the appearance of the clip on YouTube.[/quote] [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8500037.stm"]Source[/url] More buisness for her i guess.
I'd be embarrassed if I got found out looking up Miranda Kerr too. I mean its just Miranda Kerr come on.
Interesting to see that the Australian banking system is a respectable model for other economies.
And, from this Australia is gonna ban something once again.
I love how the guy turns around at the end and thinks "oh shit".
*dramatic music* Banker - "Oh shit, oh shit, code red, code red - EVERYONE BAIL OUT" [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7449/capture1uc.jpg[/img] [img]http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/1487/capture2np.jpg[/img] Poor guy. Really, really, horrid timing to be honest. I think i'm going to look at some semi-nude photos, oh fuck I'M ON LIVE T.V
Love his face when he turn around. It's like :C
Lets hope she didn't have A cup tits, otherwise he'd be in deep shit.
His face afterwards is absolutely priceless.
[QUOTE=MR-X;20006765] Really, really, horrid timing to be honest. I think i'm going to look at some semi-nude photos, oh fuck I'M ON LIVE T.V[/QUOTE] It's called "Not safe for work" for a reason. This guy ignored it
lol when his head turns at 1:34
Note to self: Look up this "Miranda Kerrs" gal.
Australia is still a joke when it comes to serious subjects such as politics and economy. [EDITLINE]SATAN[/EDITLINE] No offense to Australians, but it's true.
Miranda Kerr is hawt.
It looks like he's on Facepunch
Snap :0 Ninja'd
I can't believe they're taking this so seriously. I mean, we all do it.

He happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time... I read somewhere that this was planned (as in, somebody sent him a mail with those pics and at the bottom of it, it said "OMG LOOK BACK!1!!1!") but I'm not sure...
I'm surprised nobody ever noticed him doing it before. I mean, he works in a large open room with no privacy or cubicals. A co-worker could have easily seen it, which makes it all the more funny it got caught on the news instead.
The guy turning around is just priceless.

At the end of the day, as long as the job gets done, no one really gives a fuck. Only reason this particular incidence is getting so much attention is because he was on public television. That's a public image. Fuck up a company's public image and suddenly the bosses care.
Is it just me or does it look like he is using utorrent?

I think he knew what he was doing.
The anchorwoman was hot, I thought.
What an idiot, he should do his job instead.
Actually I'm pretty sure a woman sees him and laughs. He was doing it deliberately. What a moron. [editline]11:14PM[/editline] Yeah, 1:15, while he's switching pictures.
