“The RBA was hoping we wouldn’t get to this point,” Mr Hogan said.
“And look, there is still a chance they may not have to raise rates.
“The economy is showing some sort of signs of recovery this year and that’s not good news.
“We need the economy to remain soft because it has to be soft to get that inflation all the way down.”
