Nicholas Dametto (born 18 September 1983) is an Australian politician who has been the deputy leader of Katter's Australian Party (KAP) since 2021,and the member for Hinchinbrook in the Queensland Legislative Assembly since 2017. [1]
Dametto was born in Ingham,and has worked within several industries,namely tourism as the previous owner of jet ski operator Townsville Watersports,sugar at the Victorian Mill and mining as a diesel fitter and boilermaker nationwide. [2]
At the 2017 Queensland state election,Dametto was the Katter's Australian Party (KAP) candidate for the Hinchinbrook district. He finished third on the primary vote,behind the Liberal National Party and One Nation.

Hinchinbrook had been in the hands of the LNP or the Nationals since 1960.[ citation needed ]
In November 2021,Dametto was appointed as Deputy Leader to the party's leader Robbie Katter. [3] [4]
Dametto helped organise the Townsville rally of the March for Australia,an anti-immigration rally in August 2025. Dametto was warned by a member of the crowd that there were Neo-Nazis present at the rally. Dametto defended the presence of the men and said,"Who they are I don't know,but if they can behave themselves today and don't do anything to stir anyone up,I've got no dramas with them standing and doing their own thing over there. They're Australians,I may not support what they may or may not be into but I believe that every Australian has the right to march today". [5] [6]
