Christopher Eyles Guy Bowen (born 17 January 1973) is an Australian politician. Bowen is the Minister for Climate Change and Energy since June 2022.[1] He was the Shadow Treasurer of Australia. Bowen is a senior Labor Right figure.[2] He was the Interim Leader of the Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition in 2013 after Labor lost the federal election.[3]
