Nyah and Freddie sit down to discuss their weeks (in which the show momentarily shifts from politics to arts), do the ABC News Quiz, explore a busy week in the US (including a near-physical fight in congress) and the Optus Inquiry from Friday morning.

SYN is in its final week of fundraising; donate to given.com.au/saveSYN to keep us on the air.

Please let us know what you thought of the show on our socials, @synrepresent on X/Twitter, Threads and Instagram.
