It's obvious that her handlers are not confirming her appearance at forums in which she might be asked difficult and potentially embarassing questions on topics she knows nothing about (the economy).
It appears her most important strategy is to say as little as possible.

I think one of the things is that I learned by doing the Kepner-Tregoe analysis, is that even some of the candidates who I don't officially support can have some of the better ideas on a subject.
Even though some of these candidates have been virtually written off by voters, I still think they add value to the overall discussion. An inclusionary debate would allow even those that are unlikely winners to participate their ideas and concerns in a democratic process. Some of their attacks are even more effective considering it is not from a leading contenders.
Barb Higgins has also released her policy book recently:

I don't agree with her on every issue, but the things I think are most important I agree with her the most.
Of specific note, she has pointed out in her policy book an alternative to the airport tunnel. It includes future North LRT later down the road, future people mover connection, and several roads to improve access.
