UPDATE 11:40:

THE state budget is just hours away.  It's being called the "infrastructure budget" but only time will tell how much of that makes its way to the south-east.

Will there be any money for the Albion Park Rail bypass? How about for the F6 extension.

The last budget saw just $20 million - of the promised $100 million Illawarra infrastructure fund  from the sale of Port Kembla. Will the remaining $80 million be delivered? 

What about cash for an upgrade of Shellharbour Hospital? Princes Highway work? The port of Eden?

Treasurer Andrew Constance has vowed Tuesday's budget will deliver infrastructure for the whole state regardless of whether people live in the regions or metropolitan areas.

Roads, rail and hospitals will be delivered through a $61.5 billion infrastructure program over the budget's four years.

This is the final budget before the State election and it will be influential.

We've hit the streets and asked people what they'd like to see in the budget...
