NSW Liberal MP Peter Phelps has compared the State Government's healthy canteen strategy to sex acts, suggesting students are being told that oral sex is "OK" three times a week but sausage rolls can only be had once a semester.

There are now calls for Premier Gladys Berejiklian to pull Dr Phelps into line after he criticised his own Government's new healthy school canteen strategy.

Dr Phelps denied there was a child obesity epidemic while criticising the messages of sex education in state schools.

"Welcome to the New South Wales education system," he said.

"Where students can be told 'it's OK to fellate your boyfriend three times a week, but because of health requirements you can only have a sausage roll once every semester'."

Dr Phelps said "public health totalitarianism" was expanding not only in NSW but across the whole nation and "nanny state-ism" has reached an "insidious" level.

It is not the job of the Government to instruct people how to live nor to tell parents how to raise their children, he said.

Students are given no choice in the new healthy school canteen strategy, the MP said, and the obesity epidemic is a "myth".

"It is all about control," he said.

"There is a willing cohort of public health activists who are always ready to fabricate a crisis to get on the public teat and get a bit of Government money."

The Government's Institute of Health and Welfare says one in four Australian children were overweight or obese between 2015-2016.

Discretionary foods — those that are not necessary to provide the nutrients the body needs and are often high in saturated fats, sugars and salt — made up 39 per cent of children's energy intake between 2011-12.

The Opposition's health spokesman, Walt Secord, said Dr Phelp's remarks crossed the line.

"I think it's time the Premier acted on Dr Phelps ... he does this on a weekly bases he just makes outlandish, outrageous comments and he is beginning to treat the Parliament like a 1950s locker room," he said.

As part of the Turnbull government’s welfare reforms, the four week wait for welfare has been scrapped, and the Newstart Allowance will be streamlined with six other payments into a new “JobSeeker Payment”.

A demerit points system, similar to driving demerits, will also be introduced for around 1.2 million unemployed people, and will save the government $632 million over five years from 2016.

Jobseekers will start on zero demerits on the “Personal Responsibility Phase”, and accrue demerit points if they miss meetings or interviews without a reasonable excuse.

Failing to start a job plan, look for work, attend an appointment or participate in Work for the Dole will earn you one demerit point.

If you don’t turn up for a job interview, you’ll be hit with three demerit points.

If you get four demerit points in six months you’ll enter a three strike “Intensive Compliance Phase” and will:

- lose 50% of fortnightly payments for the first strike;

- lose 100% of fortnightly payments for the second strike;

- have payments cancelled for four weeks for a third strike.

At any point, if you get offered a job and don’t accept it, your welfare payments will be cancelled for four weeks.

Hunter - Jam Roll

On a Perth bound train, with no valid ticket,
I'm broke as a joke with no smokes, I cant kick it,
Its my habbit, I gotta have a niccotine addiction,
Every days a packet I'm a rabbit on a mission,
To get my fortnightly form in,
Me and all the rest of the dole bludgers swarm in on centrelink,
Did you apply for any jobs? Nah mate I stayed home and played with my knob,
But thats not what I really said of course I lied,
And rattled off a list of places that I never applied,
Coles gently caress no I aint pushin a trolly,
I handed in my resume, thats what I told the wally,
I rang up this place and they said that theyd call back,
I didnt even pick up the phone because I'm too slack,
Got out of bed about 2 oclock,
Sat on the couch and watched the idiot box,
My brains rotten, from too much pot and piss,
But thankyou Mr taxpayer for financing this

Stan, stan, hes our man,
I stay home and watch beauty and the beast because I can,
Bold and the beautiful comes on and I'm disgusted,
But I sit through it because the remote controls busted,
I lusted, after Sophie Lee at 4,
Man why isnt she on tv anymore,
Knock on the door and its a couple of my mates,
We all pitch in for the juice of fermented grapes
Its great,
All I do is hand in a form,
And sit on the couch and watch the internet porn,
Maybe just maybe ill get a job one day,
With the minimum hours, and the maximum pay

Under special skills, youve got poet. How many interviews have you had? None. But youve put in applications? Yep. But you didnt get any interviews? Nup, can I go now? Yeah.

I lie to the government every 2 weeks,
And hand in my form and make a hasty retreat,
Because the lowest of the low, hang out at the dole league,
The rough cunts out the front, there always tryin to roll me,
"OI mate, you got a coin for the train?"
Bullshit mate you want somethin for your vein,
I strain my eyes reading the yellow pages,
To fill out my job dairy, it took me bloody ages,
The stages, that I go through are endless,
I spendless, so lets not pretend this is fun,
Even though that it is, especially when my mates come around and get pissed,
This is the life that I chose to lead,
A job i dont need, I'd rather smoke weed,
And once a fortnight have a real good feed,
Am i a dole bludger? YES INDEED.
