I don't believe that there is anything stopping two candidates from one party. I believe I have even seen it before, but I can't find a reference.

Doesn't seem compatible with the idea of "two-party preferred" voting which is what's actually used in practice here, though I'm not 100% clear as to whether that's explicitly different to preferential voting/RCV.

Two party preferred is more a statistical count done on the assumption that {Labor, Coalition} = {Government, Opposition}. Of course it'll be decreasingly relevant now if the teals can stick.
