Honestly, parliament has strict rules around decorum for a reason, if they didn't our politicians would be screaming at each other on a daily basis.
If my politicians actually screamed at each other and disrupted the process rather than peacefully resigning to fascism then i might feel like they give a shit for once.
Oh my decorum! How precious my decorum is! It's the most important thing in the universe.
P.S. White people can break decorum anytime they want though like for example using the C word in parliament.
If the rules are so strict how come they waited 5 months to implement the punishment?
Because there's a process to follow?
A process that takes 5 months and coincides with them not being able to participate in the budget debate? Don't buy that at all.
Cool.
The reason the process dragged out so long is largely due to the conduct of the party members in question, namely refusing to attend hearings etc.
Do you have a source that says the 5-month delay was caused by that refusal? Because while one of them at least refused to come they did present a response that should have been enough to continue the meetings and not cause a 5-month delay.

Why did they take so long for these members and not the labor member who they already dealt with? Why the delay between those two events? Why did this ruling conservative party have so much trouble with what should have been a simple recommendation? And why did they delay it until now?
You seem to have answered your own question with that quote.
So you have no source that contends that at all then? That's what I thought.
I'm not here to Google shit for you, their conduct has been widely reported on if you care enough to learn the full story.
LOL. You guys are such racist cucks. It's hilarious to watch the worst people in the country cry because they failed to crush the Maori with their racist bill.
Lol
