The boys from The Chaser comedy team have scaled the walls of a Canberra church attended by the PM just before he was expected to comment on Australian casualties in the Jakarta bombings.

The Chaser's War On Everything executive producer Julian Morrow was stopped by Australian Federal Police officers when he arrived at St John's Anglican Church in full mountaineering gear and attempted to scale the spire during the regular Sunday service, The Australian newspaper says.

The stunt coincides with a draft management plan which calls for a ban on people climbing Uluru, which is sacred to local Aboriginal people.

As media waited outside the church for Mr Rudd to comment on Australian casualties in the Jakarta bombings and news of an Australian soldier being killed in Afghanistan, the ABC filmed The Chaser's latest prank.

Australian Defence Association head Neal James told The Australian he found the stunt offensive.

The Chaser's War on Everything was taken off the air for two weeks in June after the top rating program's Make A Realistic Wish skit about dying children caused widespread public outrage. The Prime Minister and his wife are regulars at St John's.

They were married there in 1981.
