Harry Dutton, the Opposition Leader’s 20-year-old son, certainly stole the show yesterday.

The second-year carpentry apprentice joined his dad on the campaign trail in Brisbane where they toured a housing development site and later helped pack boxes at a food bank.

Harry even briefly fronted a press conference where he was asked about what it was like to campaign with his old man.

Proving that he could follow in his father's footsteps if he ever decided to down tools, Harry pivoted his answer to underline how hard it was to place a foot on the property ladder.

'I am saving up for a house and so is my sister, Bec, and a lot of my mates, but as you probably heard' it's almost impossible to get in, in the current state,' he told reporters.

'I mean we're saving like mad, but it doesn’t look like we'll get there in the near future.'

Mr Dutton Jr.'s intervention helped soften his dad's hard-man image.

But it appears to have had another effect, too, as hordes of women have swooned over the young tradie (pictured, below).

'Very handsome young man,' commented one Daily Mail reader, before adding three love heart emojis.

Another said: 'Well done, one very handsome young guy.'

One congratulated the Opposition Leader, adding: 'He seems like a fine young man.'

The vast majority of comments, however, concerned Mr Dutton's refusal to answer whether he would be offering help from the bank of mum and dad.

Mr Dutton was asked repeatedly whether he would help his son buy a property - but ignored the question each time.

'You're doing pretty well, yourself. Why won't you support him a bit and give him a bit of help with getting his house?' a reporter asked.

But Mr Dutton wasn't having any of it.

'I haven't finished the excellent points I was making,' he said.

'The next point as to why people should vote Liberal is we can manage the economy well. Labor always trashes the economy, which is why we've had almost two years of households going backwards under this government.

'Australians can't afford three more years of Labor.'

It has been estimated that Mr Dutton has made $30 million from property transactions over 35 years.
