Australia become one of the world's largest arms importers, according to International Peace Research Institute.
According to Stockholm's International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) Australia last year fell from the world's 18th largest military exporter to 25th.
At the same time the country jumped from being the fourth-highest weapons importer in 2017, to the world's second biggest military purchaser in 2018.
Defence Industry Minister Melissa Price questioned the figures, insisting export goals were on track.
