South Australian Liberal senator Alex Antic has said “it’s pretty hard to explain” why the Clipsal Adelaide 500 supercar event will be going ahead despite the state government’s declaration of a climate emergency on Wednesday.

The previous SA government under the Liberal party canned the iconic race due to declining crowd numbers, but current Labor Premier Peter Malinauskas made it one of his election pledges to bring back the 500, which is scheduled for December.
