It seems our Hunter politicians aren't experiencing much of an affordable housing crisis themselves, with some on the the list of the most aggressive property buyers.
A report by the ABC shows just how many properties the politicans charged with tackling the thorny issue of spiralling house prices own.
With the most in the Hunter is Lyne MP David Gillespie who has 18 properties, followed by Member for Hunter Joel Fitzgibbon who owns five.
Next on the list is Shortland MP Pat Conroy and Newcastle MP Sharon Claydon who both have two properties, as well as Paterson MP Meryl Swanson who also has two.
The data was sourced from the Parliament's registers of interests.
