Smith was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly in 1998 as a member for the seat of Franklin.[1] He became the youngest member of any parliament in Australia upon election in 1998 at 20 years of age.[2]
Smith stepped down shortly before the 2002 election after his father was charged with stealing from his employer and a court was told some of the money may have been used to fund his campaign. His father was later acquitted of all charges.[3]
