The secret to a relaxed New Year’s Eve, if you’re doing the cooking, is the same one that applies to any laid-back dinner party: it’s all about the planning. That may sound a bit dull, but even I, the original fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants cook, have to accept it’s also true. If you can spend any time at weekends or midweek preparing food in advance, you’ll always have treasures to pull out of the fridge or freezer when friends come round and you’re short of time.

Barely a year goes by these days without some kind of major news event occurring. Time was, not so long ago in the grand scheme of things, when nothing much would happen for a couple of centuries. Some historians (OK, Wikipedia) note that in the year 1317, there were only four events. It must have been a testing time to be a newsreader or topical panel show comedian; but was the planet happier, unencumbered by things that were happening, and people’s reactions to things that were happening, preoccupied as they were by humble pursuits such as avoiding death? Who knows.

Byron Katie was deeply depressed when a radical change left her joyful. She now uses her secret to help others – whether brutalised by war or merely stressed

For a long time, Byron Katie’s children thought she was having them on. Her character seemed to change overnight, and they didn’t trust her one bit.

For 10 years – until that day – she had spiralled into rage, paranoia and despair, becoming so depressed she seldom left her house. She’d stayed in bed for weeks at a time, and her children learned to tiptoe past her door to avoid her furious outbursts.

But one morning, when she was 43, she woke up on the floor of a halfway house for women with eating disorders, and everything seemed different.

Something in her mind had shifted, and Katie suddenly understood that all the things that had been giving her so much stress were just thoughts.

Stressful thoughts, but not reality. So she could let them go.

“Laughter welled up from the depths and just poured out,” she remembers. “Everything was unrecognisable.”

The change that came over her was astonishing. And everybody at home thought it was too good to be true.

Her daughter Roxann was particularly suspicious and used to be scared to be in the same room as her mother. What was she to make of this woman who seemed “joyful and innocent like a child, and filled with love” (as Roxann put it)?

Was it a scam? Was Katie pretending to be happy all the time, and sweet and kind? Would there be some kind of payback after a few weeks?

Not that quickly, no. In a short time, people who heard about the change started knocking on Katie’s door, asking her to help effect the same kind of transformation on them. Then she started getting invitations to meet small groups in people’s living rooms, then larger groups, in church halls, community centres and hotels.

Since 1993, she has been on the road almost constantly, bringing what she calls The Work to anyone who wants it. The “new” Katie was here to stay.

Today, on YouTube, you can watch hundreds of videos in which Katie helps people from around the world to dismantle stressful thoughts, using a line of inquiry that seems laughably simple when written down.

Just spell out clearly your stressful thoughts, she explains, then ask four questions about each thought in turn:

Is it true?

Can you absolutely know it’s true?

How do you react, what happens, when you believe the thought?

Who would you be without the thought?

It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s extremely diverting – often actually funny – to watch Katie walking people through these questions, from the brink of rage and despair to some kind of bliss, in front of a live audience.

How can that be possible? She explains: “Most people spend a large part of their life thinking, essentially: ‘This shouldn’t be happening. I shouldn’t have to experience this. God is unjust. Life is unfair.’”

Katie shows them that it’s much easier to stop struggling with reality and accept whatever is happening.

Some people adore her to the point of worship. When I told friends I was interviewing her, a few responded as if I said I was meeting Gandhi, or the Buddha. And that’s not entirely off-whack, because now Katie has published a book with her husband, the Buddhist scholar Stephen Mitchell, exploring similarities between The Work and the Buddhist Diamond Sutra.

I interviewed them together, in a recorded video call. Katie and Mitchell sat on a sofa against the same black background you can see on her YouTube videos. And Mitchell described his wife’s special talent: “One of the revolutionary insights Katie’s had is: no one else can possibly cause my problems. The only way that I can have any kind of problem or stress in this world is if I’m believing an untrue thought.

I can transform the situation by becoming aware of what it is I’m thinking and then questioning those stressful thoughts
Stephen Mitchell, husband of Byron Katie
“This makes everything extremely simple. Because if the problem is with me, then the solution is with me.

“I don’t have to change anybody in my family, my children, my spouse. I can absolutely transform the situation by becoming aware of what it is I’m thinking and then questioning those stressful thoughts.”

Many people will find this hard to swallow. They might even say it sounds like victim-blaming.

But Katie has helped people do The Work on rape, war in Vietnam and Bosnia, torture, internment in Nazi concentration camps, the death of a child and the prolonged pain of illnesses such as cancer. “Many people think it’s not humanly possible to accept extreme experiences like these,” she says. But she has seen that it is. (You can watch some of those conversations online, and judge for yourself.)

Of course, most people’s stressful thoughts are more humdrum.

But that’s good, because Katie says the “teachers” we need most are the people we live with: “You can write an entire worksheet on your mother, and later find that your relationship with your daughter has dramatically improved, because you were attached to the same thoughts about her, though you weren’t aware of it.”

I ask how long it took for her family to embrace The Work. “One day, after disappearing for three days, Roxann came home and pleaded: ‘Mom, I can’t do this any more. Please help me. Whatever this thing is that you’re giving to all these people who come to our house, I want it.’”

Katie obliged. And her older son Bobby came to trust Katie enough to share something that had troubled him for years: “You always favoured Ross [his brother] over me, always loved him the most.” But instead of scolding Bobby for saying this, as she would have done in the past, Katie asked herself if what he said was true. “I’d invited my children to speak honestly, because I wanted to know the truth. So I said, ‘Honey, I see it. You’re right. I was very confused then.’”

Family life throws up constant surprises, and opportunities for stressful thoughts – about the tasks we have to do, or the people we live with, she says. We must make a habit of investigating them. It’s a process. It never ends.

“Roxann called me one day and said she wanted me to attend my grandson’s birthday party. I said I had a commitment that day in another city. She was so hurt and angry that she hung up on me. Then maybe 10 minutes later she called and said, ‘I’m so excited, Momma. I just did The Work on you, and I saw that there is nothing you can do to keep me from loving you.”

There was still no way past Steve Smith. The pitch may have been as docile as a lamb yet it still required wonderful concentration from Australia’s phenomenal captain to bat for almost seven hours to save the Melbourne Test match. In the process he recorded his 23rd Test century. Finding the key to removing Smith from the crease would have taxed the team at Bletchley Park, let alone the one led by Joe Root.

Abusive calls were made to embassy in Australia over gesture 30 years ago, declassified state papers show

Ireland’s Australian embassy got “threatening and abusive phone calls” over the government’s gift of a statue of Queen Victoria to the city of Sydney, Irish cabinet papers declassified after 30 years have revealed.

The statue, which had been in storage in Ireland for almost 40 years, was sent despite opposition from Ireland’s then finance minister, John Bruton, and the director of the National Museum of Ireland, John Teahan. It has stood outside Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building ever since.

Ireland’s Australian embassy wrote to the country’s Department of Foreign Affairs on 23 December 1987 with a report on the unveiling on 20 December, the Irish Times reported. Dermot Brangan, first secretary at the embassy, said he has spoken at the ceremony and Australian officials were very grateful for the statue, but the gift had not gone down well in some quarters.

“In the days preceding the unveiling, you should be aware that the embassy received a number of threatening and abusive phone calls about the propriety of an Irish government giving a statue of Victoria as a gift. The callers demanded to know the name of who was going to represent the Irish government at the ceremony and to warn him/her to stay away,” Brangan said.

He said a call had also been made to the Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper “from someone claiming to represent the Irish Defence Force – a group unknown to the embassy or indeed the police, warning the people of Sydney to stay away from the unveiling ceremony, threatening to bomb the statue and to picket the ceremony”.

“The caller is also reported to have issued a threat against the unnamed Irish government representative.”

The embassy was also warned of threats by police special branch officers, whose members escorted Brangan during his stay in Sydney for the unveiling.

The statue of Queen Victoria was originally unveiled at Dublin’s Leinster House in 1908.

After Irish independence from the UK in 1922, Leinster House became the home of Ireland’s parliament, the Dáil, and the statue stayed there until 1948 when it was moved to storage after decades of protests.

In June 1986, Ireland’s ambassador to Australia, Joseph Small, received a request from the office of the lord mayor of Sydney, Doug Sutherland, asking if it would be possible to send Queen Victoria to Australia on loan.

Despite the objections, the cabinet agreed to send the statue to Australia “on loan until recalled” and it arrived in 1987.

Brangan’s cable to Dublin reported the weather in Sydney at the unveiling was “most inclement with very heavy rain falling”.

Russia thought to be extending its Pacific influence after nuclear-capable aircraft carry out military exercises in Indonesia

An Australian air force base was put on alert while Russian strategic bombers conducted exercises in neutral waters off Indonesia, a move experts said showed Moscow was looking to extend its influence in the Pacific.

The base in Darwin was briefly put on a state of “increased readiness” in early December during the Russian exercises, which, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence, involved two nuclear-capable Tu-95MS bombers and more than 100 personnel.

RT, the Kremlin-backed English-language news channel, reported the exercise was the first Russian air patrol in the Pacific launched from Indonesia.

One of Australia’s foremost national security experts, Peter Jennings of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said the exercises showed Russia was again extending its influence to the peripheries of the world. “It is a reminder Russia is here and wants to be a player in Pacific security and will use military force to demonstrate that,” he told the ABC, which first reported the story.

The aircraft took off from Indonesia’s Biak airfield, on an island north of Papua, and stayed in the air for more than eight hours. The aircraft flew only above neutral waters, according to the Russian military.

“Flights over neutral waters in Arctic, northern Arctic, Black and Caspian seas, and Pacific Fleet are conducted regularly by long-range aircraft,” its defence ministry said in a statement. “All the missions of the Russian Aerospace Forces are carried out in strict accordance with the international air law.”

The two bombers had earlier arrived at the Biak airfield from the Amur region in Russia’s south-east. The Russian military said the bombers were refuelled by Il-78 aircraft over the Pacific ocean on their way to Indonesia.

The bombers, commonly referred to as “bears”, have a range of almost 15,000km without refuelling.

The Australian Department of Defence confirmed to Guardian Australia “there was a brief period of increased readiness” in early December but said the base was not in lockdown.

“The [Australian Defence Force] maintains appropriate levels of readiness and posture to respond to evolving circumstances,” the spokesman said. “In early December there was a brief period of increased readiness. There were no instances of unalerted or unscheduled foreign aircraft operating in Australian airspace during this period.”

It’s not the first time Russia has sought to demonstrate influence in the Pacific. Last year, it was revealed Russia had sent a secret shipment of 20 containers of weapons and military hardware to its newfound regional partner, Fiji. The shipment was followed by Russian military personnel, who were to train the Fijians in the use of the weapons.

In 2014, Russian naval vessels moved to the north of Australia, days before the G20 summit in Brisbane and at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Canberra.

In a 2015 paper, Alexey Muraviev, a strategic analyst and Russian military expert at Perth’s Curtin University, said Russia had tangibly intensified its engagement in the Asia-Pacific since about 2000.

Muraviev argued the 2014 Ukraine tensions and a need to diversify trade had “deepened Moscow’s long-standing impulse to re-engage with both Asia and the Pacific”.

“Economically, Moscow is responding to the rise of the Asia-Pacific as an engine of the global economy,” he wrote. “Politically, Moscow sees in the region a number of potential partners also striving to establish a multipolar world, notably China. In the military-strategic sphere, Russia is sensitive to the risk of armed conflict on its eastern flank.”

Australia’s acting opposition leader, Tanya Plibersek, said it appeared Russia had abided by international laws and norms during the exercises. She made no other comment on the response of the Australian defence force.

“I think it is very important that any country doing military exercises abides by laws and norms, international laws and norms, and the reporting suggests that this has been the case in this instance,” Plibersek said on Saturday.

Jennings said defence forces might have feared the bombers were being used to gather intelligence.

“There would be concerns about Russian intelligence gathering because they wouldn’t come this far south without wanting to look at the one significant Allied presence in this part of the world, which is what operates out of Darwin and RAAF base Tindal further south,” he told the ABC. “So there would be have been intelligence gathering we would have been geared to resist.”
