Mr Smith was taking part in what Friends of the Earth called a spontaneous protest.
Several Brisbane residents from the climate change action group Six Degrees decided to attend Ms Gillard's speech in protest against what they called the government's utter climate cop-out.
They want the prime minister to announce action against coal miners in her speech.
The Prime Minister continued on with her speech during the affray, appearing undeterred.
Mr Smith said in a statement that Ms Gillard's's real climate policy involved 40 thousand coal seam gas wells in Queensland's Darling Downs 11 new coal-fired power stations and huge expansions of coal rail and ports.
A small group of climate change demonstrators had also gathered in the grounds of the university prior to Ms Gillard's arrival.
Also on campus, a small group of Young Liberals, who held up signs criticising ETS and the Labor Party.
