❓ A WA parliamentary question probes the State Government's commitments and timelines regarding the Point Torment proposal near Derby, particularly concerning Inpex's involvement and infrastructure funding. The government's response clarifies its role in facilitating land access and heritage matters, but defers to Inpex on decision timelines and confirms no specific budget allocation for road upgrades.
