Armchair answer here because I haven't been to Newman for a while and I don't have access to performance data but in general:
  • There's not much point landing overweight and possibly not having sufficient LDA for the weight.
  • Even if both engines were overhauled at the same time, it doesn't follow that because one engine has failed the other will.
  • In the absence of contrary indications it is not unreasonable to expect the other engine will continue to operate normally to the adequate (60 mins @ SE TAS).
  • In the absence of contrary indications, I don't know of any operator that expects a Transport Category aircraft to land overweight, simply because one engine has failed or been shut down.
