Dutton expressed concern that many young Australians feel they have lost the dream of homeownership and committed to restoring that opportunity for them.

Harry Dutton, the 20-year-old son of Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, has been vocal about the struggles young Australians face in affording their first home, highlighting the ongoing housing affordability crisis in Australia.

Peter Dutton confirmed he will assist his son with a house deposit, a shift from his earlier evasive responses on the matter, reflecting a personal commitment amid his political campaign.

Both Dutton and Labor leader Anthony Albanese have faced criticism from economists regarding their housing policies, which may inadvertently increase home prices and favor wealthier individuals.

The Coalition's housing policy, announced during their campaign launch, aims to support first homebuyers earning under $175,000 through a new mortgage tax deduction scheme.

This proposed tax deduction allows mortgage holders to deduct interest payments on up to $650,000 from their taxable income, specifically for newly built homes.

Experts warn that there may not be enough skilled tradespeople in Australia to meet the housing construction demands promised by both parties, potentially hindering their initiatives.

In an effort to engage younger voters, the Coalition released a rap 'diss track' titled 'Leaving Labor', although it was not directly related to Harry's campaign involvement.

While Dutton acknowledges that he and the Prime Minister can assist their children, he emphasizes the need for broader solutions to help all Australians achieve homeownership.

Dutton's decision to include his son in the campaign marks a departure from his previous approach of keeping family matters private, reflecting a strategy to humanize his political image.

Critics have questioned whether Dutton, who has made substantial profits from property transactions, would provide immediate financial support to his son, highlighting the complexities of his position.

During a recent interview, Dutton emphasized the importance of homeownership for all young Australians, regardless of familial financial support, and reiterated that discussions about financial aid are common within families.
