The son of Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has been photographed with a clear ziplock bag containing a small amount of ‘white powder’.
Tom Dutton, 18, was pictured with what was described as a “birthday treat” on the balcony of a Surfers Paradise apartment on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
The teen was photographed facing the camera, holding a bag in his right hand.
The photo was posted to Tom Dutton’s friend’s Snapchat account with the caption “Birthday Treat.” Hello how are you?
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting the white substance is drugs.

The photo was deleted shortly after it was shared, but a screenshot taken by one of the recipients continues to circulate online.
Snapchat is popular among young people because messages usually disappear after they are read.
