Peter Dutton has proposed scrapping the welfare payments of climate change activists who break the law.

Speaking to Ray Hadley on 2GB radio this morning, the Home Affairs Minister called on the public to actively shame protesters who are "putting lives at risk".

This week, 10 Extinction Rebellion protesters have been charged over two separate acts of protests that delayed traffic through Brisbane CBD.

When asked whether protesters who received government benefits should have their welfare payments removed, Mr Dutton agreed.

"Well I agree, Ray," he said.

Mr Dutton said the public should 'name and shame' climate protesters.

"People should take these names and the photos of these people and distribute them as far and wide as they can so that we shame these people.

"Let their families know what you think of their behaviour."

Mr Dutton also lashed out at vegan activists who raided farms in April, and the three pro-refugee protesters who briefly occupied the roof of his electorate office in 2016.

"We should push back because these people are a scourge," he said.

More climate protests are planned in Brisbane CBD from October 6 for Extinction Rebellion's International Rebellion Week.
