Labour's defending its plan to grow the economy, saying it's about capitalising on strengths rather than playing the same old tune.\xa0

The five point plan includes growing an export-led country, boosting renewable energy, enhancing tourism, and focusing on sustainable agriculture technology.\xa0

Labour Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson told Mike Hosking that New Zealand's always been an export nation, but this is about maximising the value of that.\xa0

He says they want to shift what we do into areas that are of more productive value,\xa0and therefore pay higher wage jobs.\xa0

Robertson claims there've been a number of advances in these areas in the past few years.\xa0
