That site literally gives the overall tax rate as 28.68%, 42nd in the world. The US is 53rd, and the UK is 29th.
The single figure of 45% is the highest tax bracket, which only starts at $180,000/year. Australia has a higher minimum wage than most countries, so a large proportion of the population are in minimum wage jobs. People on minimum wage here make ~$40k/year and pay around 14% tax.
Not that any of that really matters if you're talking about government spending, since the overall tax rate is what determines government income, not what any individual person is paying.
