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.

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 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.
