National Australia Bank is reported to have ruled out investing in Adani’s $A16 billion Carmichael coal project in Queensland. Adani responded by saying it had never approached NAB for funding. Meanwhile, announcing a 15.4 per cent return on its portfolio, Future Fund chairman Peter Costello said the fund would continue to invest in companies where there was an investment case, whether they were mines or banks supporting mines.
