No. That is one question they ask. It is not how they define intimate partner violence.
The definition they use is right there in the report:
What is intimate partner violence? In this research, we adopt the definition of intimate partner violence set out in the National Plan as:
Any behaviour within an intimate relationship (including current or past marriages, domestic partnerships or dates) that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm ... Intimate partner violence can occur outside of a domestic setting, such as in public, and between 2 people that do not live together. (DSS, 2022, p 37)
So if the behaviour does not (my emphasis) “cause physical, sexual or psychological harm”, it does not match their definition of intimate partner violence.
Assertion misses the point: Most Australians whose homes need to be made more energy efficient, are renting and have no agency in doing anything like that to their homes.
Telling those people "you could save on your power bill by modifications to your home”, is just cruel. We know our homes are energy inefficient, we can't make the changes required.
What's needed is legislation that mandates the landlord must pay for those improvements, before they take any more money from the renter.
