Perhaps it is time to revisit the preamble to the Libertarian Party Platform, which reads in part:

As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all
individuals are sovereign over their own lives, and no one is forced
to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.

We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential
precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud
must be banished from human relationships, and that only
through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.

Consequently, we defend each person's right to engage in any
activity that is peaceful and honest,...

This is hardly consistent with what Diana was advocating as a Libertarian principle in saying that domestic violence was not a fit matter for government concern.
