WA:Needy to be biggest winner out of WA budget

Premier COLIN BARNETT says the upcoming West Australian budget will see funding directed
to those most in need at levels never seen before.

Mr BARNETT will hand down the state budget on May 19 .. which is expected to focus
heavily on social policy areas with non-government organisations set to be the biggest
winners.

The government came under attack for last year's budget .. which included significant
hikes in utility prices .. and Mr BARNETT later apologised for the impact it had on low-income
households and pensioners.
