There’s some confidence the Government's struck the right balance with its social housing overhaul. 

This year's Budget includes hiking the amount social housing tenants have to pay from 25% of their income to 30%. 

The savings will be redirected into support for private renters. 

Wellington City Mission Chief Executive Murray Edridge told Mike Hosking the increase is not a huge amount. 

He says while it may hurt some people, it'll help those in the private rental market struggling with the lack of accommodation subsidies.

A history-making weekend.  

Auckland FC is hosting the A-League Grand Final, facing off against Sydney FC at a sold out Mt Smart Stadium. 

A later kick-off time has been locked in to suit the Aussie audience —8:10pm— as Auckland looks to make history in just their second season. 

CEO Nick Becker told Mike Hosking the later start time won’t impact the team’s performance – you could put it on at any time and the boys will be up for it. 

He says the chance to play in front of a home ground is going to drive them forward.

Beef exports are booming, up 12% annually. 

The latest Stats NZ figures show exports for April hit $8.6 billion, with meat leading the way – worth $1.3 billion. 

The US remains our top beef market, taking more than a quarter of our produce, representing a 54% increase.  

Special Agricultural Trade Envoy Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking US herd numbers are at a 70-year low. 

He says despite tariff uncertainty, the market's in great shape, given the US eats about three burgers per head each week.

The Iran war may be denting demand for Turners, but the company's still outperforming previous years thanks to its popular Tina ads. 

Turners Automotive has reported a record normalised net profit of more than $63 million for the year to March – up 16%. 

Chief executive Todd Hunter told Mike Hosking strong growth in finance and insurance means they're well ahead, despite the war slowing things. 

He says the customer experience is built on trust, and selling used cars is something that doesn't normally operate on that foundation.
