Greenpeace activists arrested for cleaning up the streets of Canberra

"It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it," said Greenpeace climate campaigner John Hepburn.

The activists were apprehended by the local forces of order for power-hosing a simple demand - 'Don't K#v it up' - on a street near Parliament House.

The action is part of a new Greenpeace campaign focusing on the most important issue to Kevin Rudd: his own name.

With only 100 days until decision time on climate at Copenhagen, Greenpeace is laying down the gauntlet.

"If Kevin Rudd does a deal for the big polluters at Copenhagen, we're asking Australians to pledge to make his name a dirty word," said Hepburn.
