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.

The Associate Health Minister's praising a proposal to offer free flu jabs to more people. 

Pharmac's looking at providing the jabs to an extra 260 thousand children between six months and five-years-old from next year. 

It's also proposing introducing two new brands for over 65s.  

David Seymour told Mike Hosking some young people still die every year from influenza, and as every parent knows, they also spread it around the household.  

He says the cost-benefit of this stacks up, and it's a great thing for Pharmac to be looking into.  

Consultation opens mid-June.

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.
