# Second shadow ministry of Matthew Guy

The Shadow Ministry of Matthew Guy was the Coalition opposition, opposing the Andrews government in the Parliament of Victoria, Australia.

The shadow cabinet was made up of the caucuses from the Liberal Party and Nationals.
The shadow ministry was replaced by the shadow ministry of John Pesutto after Pesutto succeeded Guy as Liberal Party leader in December 2022.
