Prime Minister Scott Morrison has slammed Labor and its 'ridiculous' obsession with gender identity.

Mr Morrison's comments follow the release of the Labor Party's final draft national policy platform, which mentions sexual orientation and transgender dozens of times.

Labor is also considering appointing a new Commissioner for Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Intersex Status issues.

When asked by Alan Jones on his 2GB breakfast radio program on Thursday if the focus on the subject worries him, Mr Morrison replied, 'It does, at a number of levels.'

Mr Morrison said Labor is 'obsessed' with gender identity and not the cost of living (Pictured, Opposition leader Bill Shorten, centre, with parliamentarians Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong and Tanya Plibersek and former senator Louise Pratt)

'But the main one is why aren't they talking about small business and family businesses. Why aren't they talking about (bringing) taxes down and electricity prices down?' Mr Morrison continued.

'Why aren't they talking about those issues? I mean, they're obsessed with this stuff. I honestly don't understand.'

Labor's federal policy proposal has been released ahead of the party's triennial national party conference, which is being held in Adelaide from December 16 to 18.

The party's left and right factions will debate the draft platform at the conference and if the proposals are agreed to, they will be the policies Labor takes to next year's federal election.

The draft document mentions sexual orientation 64 times, transgender 36 times and intersex 59 times.

Gay, lesbian and bisexual are each mentioned about 30 times, while gender is included on 138 occasions.

Mr Morrison said it was 'ridiculous' the Labor Party would be devoting more time to discussing gender identity issues compared to 'what people are having to pay' (stock image)

The 224-page policy proposal seeks to commit a Labor government to reviewing 'documentation requirements'.

For transgender and intersex people, that would mean the ability to choose an identification 'beyond binary male/female'.

'That's what they're going to debate at the Labor Party national conference. Apparently that is the issue, not what people are having to pay,' Mr Morrison said.

'It's ridiculous. It is just simply ridiculous.'
