At least one fellow DL minister, Pat Rabbite, is known to have advised De Rossa not to bring the case to a second trial after the collapse of the first last year.
The birthday party must have been full of the ghosts that De Rossa stirred up in his libel action, ghosts which his colleagues had hoped were laid to rest when they split from the Workers Party.
