Briefs: NAB glitch delays payments, climate stays balmy for CEFC

A payment processing glitch at National Australia Bank delayed fund transfers and debit and credit card payments for an extended period on Monday night. The bank said on Twitter yesterday that it would be "working overnight on the backlog of payments." NAB said the issue affected debits, and that "incoming payments should not be impacted."

Funding for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation will be unaffected by cuts to a number of Australian government programs relating to climate change.
