Before entering national politics, Smith was a lawyer.
He was a founding member of the Christian Democrats, which later became Future New Zealand.
[1] Like his associates, Larry Baldock, Bernie Ogilvy, Paul Adams and Marc Alexander, Smith only served one term before he left Parliament at the 2005 New Zealand general election, given that his party polled only one-third of its previous electoral support.
In the 2008 election, Smith stood for United Future in the electorate of Hutt South.
