It's been revealed the Hunter has chipped in billions of dollars to state coffers for almost three decades to state coffers.
The region has contributed more than $20 billion which includes big-ticket assets such as the Port of Newcastle for $1.75 billion topping the list, and the Bayswater and Liddel power stations for about $1.5 billion.
The sell-off started in 1990 with the sale of Kooragang Coal Loader for $20 million.
Since the Coalition government came into power in 2011, about $50 billion worth of public assets have been privatised.
