Nerida Conisbee, chief economist at Ray White Group, joins Associate Editor, James Kirby in this episode. 

In today's show, we cover:

• Investing with rising rates
• The case against two more rate hikes
• Why banks are offering longer-lasting mortgages
• Will negative gearing be effectively restricted to new houses?
