Reference please.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ranks Australia as 13th, at 2% of Australia's GDP[1][2].

Which is below the worldwide average of 2.2%, although given our geographic remoteness and relative security, I absolutely agree that it's too much.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies places Australia at 12th.
