David Kiely, the Macquarie Bank client investment manager who has become the latest internet sensation after being caught live on TV oggling semi-nude pics of Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, is said to be cooling his heels at home, waiting for his employer to work out what to do with him.

And rumours abound that Kiely may actually have been set up by another staff member, who sent him an e-mail with the pics attached, knowing that Kiely would open them in full view of the TV cameras. Australia's Channel 10 news has reported that, after Kiely viewed the final image e-mailed to him, he was instructed (via a message at the foot of the e-mail) to 'Turn around now'.

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..........

Anyway, we are now officially starting a campaign to get the client investment manager back to work, because:

1. He seems like a nice bloke

2. The pics weren't hardcore

3. He has suffered enough

4. There's just too much political correctness in this world anyway

So, please help David Kiely keep his job by sending an e-mail 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.

And e-mail this item around to get your friends and work colleagues to support our campaign too. It's time for bashed bankers to unite in support of one of their own!

Please use the 'E-Mail' button immediately under the article title to send this item to a friend.
