Nicholas Adam "Nic" Street (born 1979) is an Australian politician. He was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly in a countback conducted on 1 March 2016, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Paul Harriss. Street graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2001 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, and then operated his family's business, an IGA supermarket in Blackmans Bay. In November 2011, he was elected to Kingborough Council.[1]
In February 2015 and again in February 2016, Street apologised for a post on Twitter made in November 2014 in which he called a fellow passenger on a flight from Hobart to Melbourne a "bitch" for reclining her seat, and included a hashtag "#shouldhavegotasmacktothehead". Street had deleted the tweet after a complaint from a Kingborough ratepayer, and undertook to work hard for the people of Franklin to demonstrate he was "better than one regrettable tweet".[2]
