Anglicare WA CEO Mark Glasson said a $400 power bill credit to be announced in this afternoon's State Budget falls short of helping people in real need of cost-of-living relief. 

"The people we see need a lot more than a $400 payment ... they need ongoing support, for rental costs, for cost-of-living increases," he told 6PR Mornings host Liam Bartlett.

"What we've got here is a payment that goes to everyone, so it's not targeted, it's not smart, in fact it's quite lazy policy, I would suggest."
